No it wont because he has a Saleen which is lowered on i think 1.25. I had 295/40/20 on and they were very close. 315/35/20 and i rub going over dips in the rode fast. 305/50/20 will not fit from what i see with my curreent 315/35s.... barely anymore room in the fender. I hope your not thinking of doing that! IMO it would look hideous and you will def feel slower.

I ordered some 295/40/20's yesterday. I will be going with the roush rears if anything. I know it is 2" taller than stock, but my tuner will fix my speedo. I need the extra height with my sidee exhaust. I had to put the stock rears back on so I would stop scraping. I got the taller tires to fill the wheel well more so it doesnt look too off from the front. Ill post pics in a week or so when they get installed.

With a 28" tire I will still have about an inch all the way around the fender.

275/45/20 fits 305/40/20 fits

305/45/20 is a TRUCK & SUV tire size so even if it did fit, you'd be loosing traction.
