I have 305's on my truck with a 3" suspension lift. Anything less than that i'm almost 100% you'll rub. Buy some 3" coil spacers, add a leafs, and new shocks. Will look great with those off road rims

I would think a 2 inch lift (like a spacer) might prodce minimal rubbing in certain situations. The stock tire is about 32 inches on an off road, but they barely clear. However the suspension can cycle without them touching anything.
The 305 is about an inch talller and as much wider, so things will be really tight.
Adding a 2 inch spacer will move your axle backwards about 3/4 of an inch.
