those rides are definitely hurting stance wise, even if you don't "track it", a subtle drop will kill the fender gap and make those rims and those trucks look a ****-ton better, otherwise that gap is just killin' it for me. Wheels make the car, and you're not taking full advantage of yours 
Not directing this to anyone here, but I usually point and laugh when I see cars/trucks with 20+ inch rims on them. They're usually some crappy over priced SUV with horrible mileage or a beat up old american car that is worth less than what the rims cost.
It's especially bad if they also put stickers that say "DUBB" or "20s" all over the outside of the vehicle.
The CX-7 in here doesn't look too bad, but mostly because of the lack of giant chrome "look at me" rims.

I have approx 37k on our '05 ML500 (Still under warranty) and we drive it back and forth between Vegas and SoCal. I certainly hope the truck is still worth more than the wheels.
...and at the price I paid for my wheels... it would be nice for people to "look at me" and notice them.
Besides, its the wifey's ride.

There was a really informative article I read the other day that detailed accident reports and %'s of vehicles with fatalities broken up by vehicle type. The conclusion was the larger vehicles (SUVs) were less able to stop, less able to avoid, and because they aren't subject to many of the crash requirements that car's are required to meet, a lot more likely to cause fatalities to the occupants.
You end up with a vehicle that is cheaper to produce, and has a higher profit margin.
Jacking up the vehicle height only adds to the chances of rolling over.
But I didn't mean to get on a soapbox, so I'll quit while I'm ahead
