A lot of guys run the 265/305 setup but on 19" wheels (i.e. the sidewall is the same, just on a smaller wheel), and I don't see those guys on forum crying over bent wheels. So just avoid the major potholes and you should be fine.

Also just as a piece of advice since we are talking about wheel diameters and what not. a 245/35 Front and 285/30 Rear has the same overall diameter @ 26.8" (which also happens to be the factory wheel/tire diameter). The 255/35 Front is slightly larger diameter than the 285/30 rear. Probably won't cause any problems but the keen observer might spot the difference in diameter/sidewall size.

I look forward to seeing some photos of your setup.
