Default Why should I upsize or not?

My current street stock rear wheels are 11 x 19 with 67 offset, Sport Classics running a 295 30ZR 19 tire. I am going to put these tires on newly purchased 11 x 19 with 51 offset, Sport Design wheels. I am purchasing Pilot Cup Sport 2 tires for the 11 x 19 / 67 wheels for autocross / DE and wondering if I should upsize to a 305 tire. What are your guys thoughts, yes or no and why, thanks!

It doesn't make a huge difference. You can, but the 305 tire is usually bit harder to find stock for.

I would go with whichever is cheaper when you buy them. But if you don't put many miles, get the 305.
