Default 295/35/19 to 305/30/19?

haven't bought tires for a while. i would love to go back with the 295 setup, but only bfg's in 295's now??? really don't want to go with the bfg's.

gotv8's car looks a lot like mine with 305's on it. my fenders are not rolled, will 305's go on without too much trouble?

everyone that was 295 now going with the 305 set up. just don't want to pay 500 a tire and then they don't work.

45mm offset for the rim guru's.

thanks,
rob

If you go with a 295/30/19 (25.97") you have a good selection of tires in a 295.
Depending on the brand/model of the tire a 305/30/19 might actually be narrower than a 295, and you have less selection of tires with the 305.

It also depending on wheel width.

I have Michelin PS2 305/19's on 19x11 wheels, and they barely clear the rolled fender on straight up and down compression, and still slightly rub the inner fender (already BFH'd, but apparently not enough) when cornering at the limit.

I have 19x10's in the rear and just went through that tire swap! I had Toyo Proxes 285/35's and jumped to Hankook Ventus V12 305/30/19. I had already done the BFH mod before and instead of rolling the fender lip just completely cut off the lip with a grinder. No rubbing issues whatsoever now!

I have 19X10's with 305 30-19 michelin ps2's right now on the rear. When I have to replace them I will be going with the hankook V12's since they are only $226 each and have gotten really good reviews.
