Can anyone think of a reason that a 305-40-20 could not be used to replace the orginal 295-40-20?

Speedometer reading

295= 65 mph
305= 65.7 mph

If I'm not mistaken the tire rubs at times.

305/40/20 means the tread width of the tire is 305 millimeters, the height of the tire is 40% as tall as it is wide(from the rim to the edge of the tire), and the tire fits on a 20 inch rim.

So my math says it's 10mm wider and 4mm taller (X 2 for both sides, so 8mm taller. I don't think it will rub.

My tires are 295/45/20, about 15mm taller and I get a very infrequent rub.

I believe Marty Usher had 305's on his prowler and he said they would rub the frame rail

Pretty sure he had the same tires as me 295/45/20. The flame cut BFGs.

I'm sure he will chime in.
