Bigger tires on factory 17's

Let's see your pics of larger tires on the aluminum factory 17" wheels. I'm on the fence and I can't decide if I want to get bigger tires for my 17s or if I want to get a set of take offs from and F150/Expedition/Mark LT/Navigator in 18" or 20" and just settle with the factory tire size on them.
So help persuade me to get a leveling kit and keep my 17's.
Thanks.

Any rubbing at all? How's the clearance? That's a size I never thought of, but it looks damn good.

Thanks. I've put about 5k miles on them so far and I haven't had any rubbing at all. I can turn to full lock either way and still not rub anywhere. Pics def dont do these tires justice. They are a ton more aggessive than they look.
