Rear: 20x10 offset 25. 275 30 20 (rear tire is further under the car than front, looks funny)

2nd- can I put 305 30 on the rear 10" rim?

Thanks
Looks like an optical illusion to me ... the offsets and wheel widths are different - 8.5 +20 on the Front results in a more flat face for this particular wheel design, and the 10.0 +25 on the back results in a more concave or staggered look.

The Flat Face on the Fronts make them appear larger.
You can put spacers on the rears to make them come out more in line with the fronts and this will help the appearance as well.

You can check with Summit or Jegs to find the recommended wheel sizes for any tire you are considering.

For the 305/30-20:
The Minimum Recommended Wheel Size is 10.5"
The Maximum Recommended Wheel Size is 11.5"
But people have been known to 's-t-r-e-t-c-h' the rules here a little bit...but you would actually be 'pinching' it a little.
