Can I fit 305 35 20 on the rears without rubbing or 315 30 20. Would the 315 30 20 be dependent on offset? Thanks guys.

The problem is getting both straight line traction, and wanting to take the canyon runs like you mentioned... A Mickey Thompson for example would be possibly your best bet in straight line traction, but if you plan to take corners fast you'll feel the rear get loose.
A toyo r888 will handle well in corners, but not have as good straight line traction.
Pick your priority on which style driving you want to do more aggressively and go from there.

Thanks guys, I just called CCW and they told I would be able to fit 315 30 20 but the tires would likely stick out a 1/4". I'm not sweating that, more concerned about staying planted.
With that in mind I have many more tire options. I just had a baby and rarely have time to canyon carve and won't for the foreseeable future. Going fast in a straight line is going to be most import.
