I'll take pics tomorrow, I run Nittos 555'r 305's for the last 2 years (on my second set)...they've worked great for me....

305 is as big as you want to go... Have a set mounted in the garage so I too will post pics tomorrow...

I want to run the Nitto 05 model...which only has a 315 fitment in 20" wheel size. Will these fit without rubbing?

They will fit without rubbing, but they are too wide for a 9" wheel. A 315 on a 9" wheel will have reduced contact patch because it doesn't sit correctly on the wheel.
A 315 on an 11" wheel will have a much larger contact patch.

I had 305's on mine for over a year were great

This.

Will a 305 fit? Sure....does it fit correctly? No. It actually puts down less of a contact patch than the smaller 275/40/20 tire.

SGO is 100% on mark...it's due to the width of the rim.

I'm running 305's on my stock wheels, no wear issues at all, looking at the thread marks from a quick drop of the clutch looks like I am getting most of the tire to contact the pavement as well

You can get your factory 20's widened to 11". A lot of people here have gone that route.

Forgestar F14s come in 20x11s.

Guys are also running 315s on 20x10.0 and 20x10.5s. Its not the perfect setup. But with the correct offsets, they fit pretty well. 10" wide wheels are a little skinny for a 315 tire, but its a lot better than putting a 315 on a 9" wheel.
