i've been told 325/60 w/ a leveling kit, not sure about stock but I'd assume it may work

Only one way to find out... See if you can pay to have 'em mount 1 on the front and see if it fits.

Most 305 width tires require at least a wheel that is 8.5 inches wide.

I am running 305/65/18 BFG AT's on my factory wheels on my 06 SE CC 4X4. I do have a leveling kit though. I only get a very slight rub on the passenger side mud flap when going in reverse. The tires will fit.

There are guys running 35's on the OEM wheel.

i have the leveling kit and soon to be rear blocks. i want to go with 305/70 or 65/18 if possible.

Pretty much what BoondockTitan said 305's require at least an 8.5" wide wheel. Even though lots of people run wheel/tire combo's where the tire is 4-4.5" wider than the wheel, you'll find that a lot of tire shops won't mount a tire if the difference is more than 3.5".

I have 305 65 18's on the stock '08 18's. The guy at discount had this book he was looking at to see if he could mount them. He checked the inside door of my truck, confirmed that they were 8" wide wheels. Got out his book, and it didnt list the 305 65 18's. It did list the 325 60 18's and it required a 9" wheel for those. So had to fight a little, but my reasoning was that the 305 were one step narrower, and 8" is one step narrower than 9". Anyway, he did eventually mount them for me. I have the DR's up front, and it rubbed on the mudflaps. I just took the mud flaps off, but I havent driven it yet. Worst case scenario, I will do the pinch weld mod.

You can run 35's on your stock wheel. I ran 325/65/18's on mine, but I had a leveling kit and 4 inch spindles. I believe you can get away with running 35's with just a leveling kit.
