No that would be the stretched look. Putting 305s on a 10" rim is like parachute pants

This is why people go with 2 piece rotors to save rotational mass weight isn't it?

The 305 would definitely work and perform as it should with the sports wheels. No doubt.
But if your not considering the way it should look flush near the wheel fender then you should be good.

I would possibly use a spacer but that would be my personal preference.

Either way your good with the 305.

I have 20mm spacers and want to keep close to stock stagger. It will also depend on what brand tire you buy as they all measure differently. (i.e. michelin 305 runs noticeably wider than say a Bridgestone 305). I have stock size PSS right now and they look great, but are too expensive for what I'm using them for. Anybody care to show more pictures of their tire combos and sizes on stock sports?
