LOL 305 what's?

There is more to a tire size than just the width of the tire.

That's like asking if a motor will fit right up in an 05 rst.

I'm sure the 305s will fit, but i'm pretty sure the sidewall will be out past the wheel wells. I have 295 45 on my rear and they line up perfect with the wheel wells.

Yea it looks pretty good there.....right now it's in about 10 pieces and going to the body shop. I'm having almost everything repainted bc of rock chips and blemishes.

IDK where to find center caps.

As far as I know, you can't get the regency center caps anymore. But you can get regular foose speedster caps through foose themselves.
