Rim question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have found a set of 17x9 with -8 offset rims for a song and dance. Which works out to 4.75" of backspacing.

The tires I want to run are 245/65r17 which are 29.5" on a 7 inch rim. So maybe 28-28.5 on a 9 inch rim.

My C10 has 30x9.5r15 on 7 inch rims with about 2.5 inches of room left till the tires hit the fender lips level.

Would the front tires clear with a 2" drop, and allow decent suspension travel or should I keep on looking?
