Default 07 Classic Z71 with 305/65R17's???

I have a 07 classic Z71 and plan on putting just the front T-bar keys for now... I would like to run the M/T classic lock black wheels (17X9 with 4.5"BS) with a 305/65R17 M/T Baja claw TTC... think they will fit??? I know the 285's are no issue, Im just worried about the little extra width...


Wheels:
Mickey Thompson 1379412 Mickey Thompson Classic Lock Black Wheels


Tires:
Mickey Thompson 5874 Mickey Thompson Baja Claw TTC Radial Tires

the wheels would be the only thing that might hold you back from getting the 305s. on a stock wheel they would be no problem at all.

offset and width.

Stock wheels are x8.5 with like 5.5bs. So you are going to stick the wheel out an inch plus widen it a little. Then put the wide tire on it.

A few of my friends ran 305/70-17s but on stock wheels. Thats a 34" tall tire. Another friend of mine just put 305/55-20s on his 07 classic on stock 08 20s.
