I purchased a set of 22x9.5 giovanna wheels offset +30. Now I decided to bagg my 2001 silverado and want to now if these will tuck. Also, what size of tires is  the largest I can put on and still clear the fenders.I am not looking to lay the frame because I dont want to cut into the bed for now but I will like to come close to the floor. any suggestions ?
thanks in advance

Are you willing to C-notch the rear frame? That's probably going to be your limiting factor. If you want to keep the bed flat & the frame stock, that's going to determine your options. Also, if you lower it drastically with the stock frame & bed, it's going to limit your suspension travel. Just a few things to consider.

You might want to look at doing a raised bed floor, which would still give you a flat bed, just shallower. You'd still have to C-notch your rear frame, though.

yes  i am willing to c notch the rear frame. but i rather not cut into the bed if i can get away with it. if not i guess i will cut the bed up. i bought a kp 4 link suspension with the cantevelier kit.i bought 2 inch bell tech drop spindels. firestone 2600 bags. i am still working on compressor set up and i am thinking of getting 2 8 gallon tank. what size c notch should i get. and are these wheels gonna work fine. also do i need a watts link? i am not sure what it is suppose to do. i am new to this sorry for all the questions.
thanks

No problem. I'd think about doing a raised bed-floor. It looks pretty clean, and still gives you some usability for hauling.
