The 305 would definitely work and perform as it should with the sports wheels. No doubt. But if your not considering the way it should look flush near the wheel

But if your not considering the way it should look flush near the wheel fender then you should be good. I would possibly use a spacer but that would be my personal preference. Either way your good with the 305. |

In addition to stock sizes, I've run 255/285, 265/285, and 265/305 all on the stock sport rims. You're not going to notice a bit of difference unless you are driving the car hard at an auto-x or at the track. And at that level, the type of tire you are using makes way more difference than the sizing. Hell, even street driving the tire is going to make a more noticeable difference than a minimal change in sizing. I usually have my tire picked out but pick sizing based on my budget at the time they need replacement. If tracking or auto-x it's all about performance, so I would want to evaluate various combinations myself in those environments.

I have 20mm spacers and want to keep close to stock stagger. It will also depend on what brand tire you buy as they all measure differently. (i.e. michelin 305 runs noticeably wider than say a Bridgestone 305). I have stock size PSS right now and they look great, but are too expensive for what I'm using them for. Anybody care to show more pictures of their tire combos and sizes on stock sports?
