I have to lift the front wheel ever so slightly out of the drop outs so it isn't rubbing on my Neil with 23's.

That sounds even more dangerous! I would be terrified to hit a good pump resulting in the wheel sliding further into the dropouts causing the wheel to hit the fork crown. That could end up pretty disastrously.

Its not as bad as it sounds! When the wheel is fully in, it literally only just touches, nowhere near enough to stop the wheel. I hit a massive pothole the other day which instantly punctured my front wheel and nothing horrendous happened so I have faith.

Indeed
I did the same (running 28mm armadillos all last winter with no ill effect
