"Adventurous" is a nice, careful description.

I suppose 305s on 9.5" might be of a little value at the drag strip (not gonna get into the street competition aspect) where a little extra sidewall flex tends to soften the 'hit'. But it may well feel a bit woozy in street driving (tiring to have to put up with).

Calculated diameter difference between the 245 & 275 is a little over 1/8”. (275 is shorter)

Others can answer your last question.

The Nitto’s don’t size like most other tires. Their 305 is closer to others 275.
