Default 305 question

I have a 2000 camaro SS with the strano springs and bilstein shocks and my rear wheel is a 18x10.5 7.7 bs.. I'm wanting to know if I will have any problem throwing a 305 on it? And if not what a good 305 tire.

Thanks RolandT

You can run up to a 315mm on the 10.5 " wheels, a 305mm is perfectly fine!
The down side is that 305/3x/18 selection is very limited.
IMO, your best selection and price is to go with a 295/35/18. Now if price isn't an issue and you don't mind the small selection of brands then go with a 315/30/18.

So don't even go with a 305? Go with a 315.

I have always done 305/35/18. I like the taller sidewall.

R888s are available in this size.
