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

tell me about it... Thats what keeps me from doing a SFA
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
