i dont know if that tire should make much of a difference, are you lowered, mines at stock height.. some have heated the inner plastic to avoid rubbing..you can try that too..

dont worry after a while driving the tires will burn the plastic and most of the rubbing will go away. i had 6s on a 2- 5 drop.

It sucks, but like everyone else said it's only plastic. I did some trimming with a utilty knife. Your 305 is a little taller than the 295, but it gives you a little more protection. I too went with 305's for that reason. This pic isn't the best.

+1. Once the tires wear down a bit you will not notice it anymore. A little rubbing is a small price to pay for rollin hard.lol
