Running the 305 size will cause a speedo discrepancy of 6% (when u r driving 60, u are actually going 63.6 mph). Also, you'd probably have to run a 10" wide rear instead of an 11".

Anyways, not sure if its worth the sacrifice in rear rubber width to run 22" rims.

ps Did my calculations from this site: Tire size calculator
pretty cool!
I believe there is a 315/30/22 available but not sure if you want to ride on rubberbands or not
