Default will this 4/6 drop work with these wheels?

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

The tires arent to skinny, it might rub a little in the front, but you shouldnt have any problem doing this.

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?

23's aren't really known for their backspacing...

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...
