Most, if not all, tire vendors suggest that a 305 needs a minimum wheel width of 10.5 inches such as the Nismo runs. I know people who run 305's on 10 inch rims but do not track or autox so are probably fine. I would question the performance of a 305 on a 10 inch wheel on the track. I would just question it, I do not have personal experience with it. On the street YMMV. I'm running 305's on 10.5 inch rims and they seem great but I can only compare it to 275's on 10 inch rims. Not a fair comparison when we are talking RE-11 305's and RE-050 275's.
