I'm gettimg a 4/6 drop for my 2001 sierra. And I'm also getting 23's with 295/30 23 tires, theyre going to be 30" tall. You think that will rub or no? and also, you think those tires are too skinny? thanks

What backspacing on the 23's? I don't know of any 23's that aren't chrome and chrome usually has horrible backspacing (i.e. they stick out) With a 30" tall tire you'll still likely rub. To run a large tire like that you'll usually need 7.5" of backspacing on a 10" wide wheel. If they are 9" wide then you'll need 6.5", 8" wide then 5.5" of backspacing, etc.

well, its a 10" wide wheel but I dont know the backspacing. I talked to the dealer I might buy from abd he said the wheels sit flush with the truck (he didnt know the backspacing). I want the 23" diamo 12 karat wheels - anybody know a site I can get backspacing measurements for this wheel from?

Billet Specialties makes some 24's that you can get the proper backspacing in. I believe Boyd Coddington does too but i've never cared for boyd wheels personally...
