Default what size rim to fit a 305 tire

Im looking to get new wheels for my 35th anniversary camaro le. Found a real cool set of c6z06 machined rims they are 18×9.5. Will a 9.5 inch wheel fit a 305 sized tire?

a 10.5-11 inch rim will be best, 9.5 will be a bit small

This is true. While not really recommended for that width wheel they will fit and look good too. This is a 305 on a 9.5 wheel in the rear.

I'm running a 305/35/18 on 18-
X11 wheels. But I do have the fender lip rolled and inner massaged for clearance. My fronts are 275/35/18 on 18x9.5. I don't have any issues but I am running a watts linkage also. Lowered on Strano springs.
