Whats the backspace and offset of the new wheels? With the right backspace and offset, they should clear.

I ran 30/70's for a couple years before I got my lift. Backspaing could be a factor but most likely not as all 16x10 wheels I've ever seen for the 5x135 bolt pattern were really close toa 4.5" backspaing, which is perfect. You'll have to trim the lower corners on the front valance and raising the torsion bars help, but they'll fit trouble free otherwise.

BS is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel (where it bolts to the hub) to it's rear edge.

Like galaxy said, they most likely have 4.5" of backspace. The 305s should fit fine, if you have to trim anything it will be the valence, which isn't hard to trim.
