swapping 20's for 18's

Hey guys. Im going to be getting rid of my 20's for some 18's and going from a 305/55/r20 to Im thinking 285/65/r18. Does anyone see this as a bad move?

Im looking to not have such a wide tire and looking to gain some sidewall. I have been looking into the moto metal 909's 957 black machined and the gloss black 951's.

Anything else I should consider?

Thanks

Will the 275/70/r18's look too narrow on my truck do you think? or Will they be fine?
