295s should work fine, but I think 305s should work too.

You should be able to get a 315 on a 10.5" rim with the correct offset. I have a 315 on a 11" rim and dropped 1.5 with no rub and no hammering. Someone who has actually done this with a 315 in a 10.5" may want to chime in with the correct offset.

on my 10.5" rim i had a 305 before, it worked fine. but it is a rare size now, especially in 18". i have been told a 315 would work fine with correct offset like said above. i currently run a 285, b/c 295's are getting hard to find also. it looks fine, covers the rim nicely. but you should be able to go 315 with no issues. my 305's didnt rub, and i was running a eibach sportline kit (2" drop)

The biggest thing is just having wheels with the correct offset!
