Will 305s fit on a G?

Anyone running 305s on their G? Will they rub? I want to go as wide as possible w/o rubbing. Thanks for reading.

I'm currently running 275/35/19R GTS sitting on tein coilovers lowered to the max.

Herrschaft's right, depends on all the above...^...! What is the purpose of running 305s anyway? Chances are if you're NA you may not be lighting up the 275s, why go larger?

It's mostly about the look. Granted, more rubber does have handling benefits and rain traction is always more = better, but I'd wager it's for looks.

Same reason people pay for spoilers and grills. Performance?

OP stated he has GTS. Volk GTS I take it? Pretty sure that we all know the standard set up for them is 19x9.5/10.5 et +17/+18. You had to have your fenders rolled by now, if not, I'm shocked.

Several people have had 295s on them, I don't see why 10 mm would hurt anything. You might have to add some camber from your current specs so they don't rub, but they will certainly fit considering others have run wider set ups on stock body/fender work, ie. g35man04.

I'm running 295/35/20 10.5 rim and it's close but my fenders are not rolled and I'm on stock springs, you will need more -camber

offsets are +17 and rims are 10.5 for the rears (I was referring to Volks GTS when I had put GTS) Fenders are rolled, i still have a bit of neg camber with the camber kit but not as bad as it was before. I had 275 before and just want to try a bigger size for better traction. here's a pic of my ride. I know the gas tank lid is not flush,..long story...involves two girls.
