From what I have read, the clearance depends on the car, as well as the brand of tire. Some cars have more room and some tire brands run wider than others. I think most people say that 18s and having it lowered also help with clearance. At a 305, you might be close. You might need to try it and see. If it does rub, you can grind the IRS bolt, or install an MM button-head bolt, or use spacers. You can use washers to see what width spacer you might need. Good luck.

I don't think you would need an alignment just after wheels and tires, but other more knowledgeable people might chime in.

you will need an alignment after the springs, should wait about a week after you install them so the car settles, your rim and tire combo sounds fine i have 285/35r18 in the front and 315/30r18 in the rear with a prokit and have no problems
