Anyone run 305/30-19?

As I sit here in the midst of the Northeast's March blizzard, my thoughts turn toward track season...
I use 19" Forgelines for track and summer (amazing wheels, BTW). 9" wide front and 11" wide rear. I ran 255/35-19 and 295/30-19 PSCup2s last season. I'll be ordering new tires soon, but just saw on TireRack that the 295/30-19 PSCup2s have become ridiculously expensive, actually $100 more per tire than the next larger size of 305/30-19. I'm tempted to change to 305/30-19 in the rear for reduced cost. And 305 rears would also allow me to try the Bridgestone RE71Rs that everyone raves about. I'm not worried about the 0.2" increase in overall diameter that the 305s would bring, but what about clearance issues with rear suspension components due to 10mm increased width? Anyone try 305s in the rear on an 11" wheel and can report their findings?

305 will cause massive push. How do I know? I paired with 265 up front and what a mistake that was. It actually made me slower and frustrated on track.
Now i I stick with 285/265. Yes, I have all the tarret suspension bits as well for proper track alignment.
