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

The thing is...do we really NEED wider tires to put the 300ish WHP down? Or is stock size better quality tires better than going wider plus adding more weight. This is why people go with 2 piece rotors to save rotational mass weight isn't it?

I know bud you are definitely correct! Why cant you take a joke Mr. Flujoke?

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?

Ya I had BFG sport comp 2's on my roadster and traded em in for PSS to discount bc I wasn't satisfied. I loved those but I'm gonna try some RE-11's on the next go probably this time next year? Idk
