I give you fair warning, if you have a good income now, be prepared to watch it wash away before your eyes 
and if you dont, be prepared to save like you have never saved before... 
and if you like to go fast (like many of us here) then you are in the right place to learn everything you need to know and spend all (and I do mean all) of the money you come in contact with... 
Other than that, welcome to the site, and try not to suffer from separation anxiety if you lose your computer

i have 22s on my sierra with a 2/4 drop and theyre 9.5" wide. the backspacing is 7.5 so they stick out alittle but when the shocks compress, it gives them negative camber so they dont actually hit the outside fenderwell. but i did have to cut out a little of my inner fender so I wont rub

Welcome. You will find many answers to your problems/questions here.
I have 22 x 9.5's with Nitto 285/35/22. The backspacing on my rims is 6.25 inches. With a 9 inch rims, you should probably have around 5.75 to 6 inches of backspacing since the rim width is more narrow. Here is a pic of what that rim/tire combo looks like. If the tires rub a little you could always roll the lip of the fenders. Good luck.

more backspacing = more tuck
