I picked up some new wheels

[tomdietrying]

I would like to go a little wider than my 285/60/18s. Has anyone tried to put a 305/60/18 on a stock rim? Our rims are 7.5 inches wide, but I wonder if the 305 might be just a bit to wide. Any thoughts.
Peace.

I snapped a couple more pics just to show the overall effect. I'm pleased with the look and the tires actually ride pretty good considering the tread. There is some noise, but it is not unreasonable.
By the way, it's dusk in the pics so the VX has a tannish hue. It is Astral though...
Also, the last pic shows what happens when your wife isn't looking where she's backing. She smacked the front of the VX pretty hard. Lucky for me (and her) there wasn't too much damage to my VX. Her car is in the body shop this morning... grrr
