Very true, I have seen 315 on 9" wide wheels, and be fine, but we have such a smaller side profile it makes putting wider tires on stock wheels harder. I do not think 305 will cause any issues though, if I had to go from 35 (275) to 20 then maybe, but going from 35 (275) to 30 (305) should be fine.

I think on stock wheels 295 in the rear is probably best, but the V12 do not come in a size I like so I am just jumping to 305. On 10.5" wheels you should be on 295 or 305 (and I would suggest 305), both for looks and fitment.
Lugs I am not sure of.
