i work with 22.5 semi wheels everyday, I'll take a measurement with an 11r22.5 tire on it, you can always go to a lower profile, alot will depend on tire size though. Also to take in consideration is the ride will likly be a little more rough, even less sidewall give then whats on our truck. Also, treads selection might suck a little bit too.
I would maybe consider a 19.5 inch rim, 22.5 is generally a little wider but if your lifting it..................

Thought I might eventually do some custom mods on my truck once I'm out of the marine corps and back on the west coast again.

aCTUALLY THINKING BACK YOU CAN GET them pretty thin so it would not be to bad, just dont lift your truck like the image attached.
