305's?

so my rear tires 295/25r21's have the steel belts showing through hence why i've been rolling and posting pictures with my stocks back on. i was planning on buying the same size tires again but i'm wondering if i can fit 305's on my wheels. my wheels specs are 21x11 38mm. i feel they should fit but wanted to know exactly what size i need to run without running into any issues. i'm sitting on KW coilovers so adjustments can be done if need be. here's a couple of side shots for what the 295's look like

Yeah, my wheel guys who designed these wheels for me said 305's will fit easily on the wheels since they're 11" wide but i will probably rub big time

Yes, 255's in the front

Yea man.. personally I would pass on going to 305. Your ride already looks dope with how it sits. Not sure I would want to deal with rubbing & anything else.
