Have a 2/2 drop on my 2010 CC w/stock 20x9s.
Can I run 305/50R20s without rubbing, and would they stick out? No flares.

They don't appear to be sticking out, looks nice!
You're making my decision easier :)
Thinking of going with either Cooper Discoverer HT+ or Kumhos.

Special offset so they tuck under?
If not then 305s should work on mine.

I run 305/50/20's on the stock rims on my 2/4 lowered shortbox,with no issues.
I can post pics on facebook if you want,but have never had any luck getting them on here.
I'm running Toyo Proxies ST2's and like them,liked them enough I just ordered another set of they new ST3's to try out.

Thanks, I'm looking at the Toyos also.
Not on FB so no need for pics but thanks to offer.
Not concerned with snow, just want good wet traction & UCA clearance.

Well, just pulled the trigger on 4 Nankang :hmm: SP-7s in 305/50R20 for $493 w/free shipping.
Nobody had 4 Toyos and didn't want to spring for Nittos or Coopers on an experiment.
Figured if it doesn't work I'm not out a ton of money, if it does I'll get better ones soon as these wear out.
Thanks everyone for their input. :waytogo:

I thought you were just running a 305 on the rear,lol. I run 295/45/20's on the front,so i'm not sure how a 305/50 will work on the front,should be okay on a 2" front drop though.

I want a symetrical look at all 4 corners. And my 2" front drop isn't a full 2", more like 1 1/2".
I used Belltech 4769 drop coils installed in new OE length struts so maybe I should've gotten shorter shocks but it's done and it looks even.
Mevotech uppers & Moog lowers so clearance shouldn't be an issue (I hope).

And they're on! Rides better, may be just perception but it feels like the truck is grabbing better on corners.
Was worried too much wheelwell would show but I think it's fine with my 2/2 drop.
Also had them install the Moog rear sway bar links I hadn't gotten around to. Greasable, beefier than stock.

My R/T came with 285/45/22 and I think I like the look of the 305/50/20 better
