Just browsed thru 93 pages checking out all the nice trucks, but was disappointed that there were less than 4 Blue Streak Pearl trucks represented here!
I was hoping to find one with the Gunmetal SRT wheels to see how it looked. Debating between the Gunmetal and the machine faced Black SRT style wheels.

Gunmetal on blue will look deadly! You get to be the first to have it
I was leaning towards the Gunmetal SRT's, but only if they are lighter shade in color, don't think they would look good if the shade is on the darker side.
Ordered the IHC 4/6 kit last week and planed to get the truck lowered on the stock 275/60/20's for now then address the wheels later OR should I wait until I have the new wheels as I was going to go with 22" rims and 305/45/22 tires. Would the alignment be affected by the different sized tire/wheel combo's?

I think you’ll have trouble with that drop on stock tires. You’ll need the lower diameter wheels and tires on. If you do it at the same time, you will be extra happy with the results!
Agree lighter colours are better with blue. White/blue always looked good to me. I think gunmetal is usually a medium to light tone. Charcoal would be too dark.
All IMO’s here

I should state my plan is to use most of the IHC kit, minus the front lower control arms. Plan on using 2" drop springs on the front with the IHC upper A-arms and the uncut IHC springs and hardware on the rear for 2/4 drop for now, that would leave me the option to go lower later on if I choose.

Alright here's my 2015 Ram 1500 Express.
I chose to do 2/4 drop using a combination of Inez Hotrods 4/6 kit with no-cut rear brackets and Belltech 2" front springs.
I kept the stock lower front A-arms and used the adjustable Inez upper A-arms (added Moog Ball joints) with stock front shocks for now will replace with Bilstiens.
Removed all the metal cups for the bump stops front and rear. Rear is on the stock trailing arms using the Inez supplied rear shocks and uncut coil springs with Airlift bags (2lbs of air, I tried more but it made the rear bounce).
I kept the stock ram front sway bar & end links. I have a Hellwig sway in the rear along with a Spon adjustable panhard bar.
Tires are 285/45/22 Toyo Proxes III on Vision Stunner 22" x 9.5" wheels. No rubbing so far.
The truck rides very nice.
