Think I saw 305's on one, looked like way too narrow of a rim. not sure what you are asking for the second part.

How wide are your stock rims? My '02 silverado had 16x7 stock rims and it wasn't recommended to put anything wider than a 265 on them.

I agree P265/70/16 works great on stock 16x7. I ran P285/60/16 and they fit ok... but it wore down the center of the tire...
