Yeah, the 305's rub a little.... but not too much to bother me and they protect a little more against curbs, just in case.

I prefer the 305 better than 295 also.. It gives you more protection just in case you hit a pot hole. That little rubbing is nothing.

Offset is important.

What is your offset?
