305's your going to have to get keys and crank them alot and still trim
So probably 285's are what you want

I have 285's right now (going up to 305's with a BL) it gives the truck a nice look gives it enough from looking like every other stock truck intown

And you cand put them on anything wider then a 7-8"wide wheel so they look like *** and wear out the centers If you really wanna run 305's you need a 10-12wide and atleast keys
