Default NBS Sierra wheel fitment on 4/6 drop

My truck, '02 Sierra RSCB, is currently on a 3/5 drop. Soon I am swapping to coilovers up front, and building a 4 link for the rear with coilovers, to end up at a 4/6 to 4.5/6.5 drop with adjustability. I need some new wheels, because my SSS reps are beat. I am looking at the US Mags Desperado U134, in 20x9.5, and 295/40r20. I can't find any direct information confirming or denying whether with this fitment will clear. Would it work if I clipped and rolled the fender lips? Another option I'm considering if that doesn't work is a 20x9.5 +19 in a different wheel. Would either one of these work? I don't have the funds to get custom built wheels at the moment.

I'm new to the forum, and wasn't sure which existing thread to post this in, sorry if I missed it. Thanks for any input, I appreciate it.

I had 275/45/20 on 8.5" wheels with 6" backspacing. They rubbed on a 4/6 drop occasionally. I ended up with 275/35's.

Hm, so it would probably be a no go for 9.5 +1 which is 5.29 backspace. I may be able to get away with the +19 which would be just over 6. Thanks for the info and the lnk.
