Question Rear Tire Size - 295's or 305's (Need Recommendations)

I would really appreciate if I could get some information for the tires listed below. What are the most noticable difference between the tires listed below. In addition, could anyone tell me if 305's would rub the rear fender, since the vehicle is slammed. Sometime it is slammed to the point where the fender covers 50% of the tires (usually when it is parked).

Vehicle: 2014 CLS550
Lowered: Yes, lowering module.
Rear Wheels: 20" x 10.5 Vossen's with an offset of 42et
Rear Tires: 295/25/20 or 305/25/20 (Hankook V12)


I would love to have the 305's installed for the aggresive look but I want to avoid any fender rolls. I am just hoping that the tires will tuck under the fender, right?
Thank you in advance...

depends on the weather
the 305's will need a fender lip roll so, I would stick with the 295

Thanks Luke, I actually purchased them 2 days ago and I did go with 295s for the rear.
