Its doable, just make sure the 305 doesnt stick out too much. Ive seen a few on stock mustangs that just didnt look right. I personally have 275 30 20 in the back and 255 30 20 in the front and for a non-body kitted car i think it sits perfectly.

the combo you suggested makes your back tire about 2'' taller(28.8'') than the front(27''). I doubt that is the look you are going for. If you chose a 305 35 18 in back and a 245 45 18 in front, both tire would be the exact same diameter of 26.6''. if you keep your offset at +40mm or less (7'' backspacing) on the back tire you should be fine with no contact issues. The front are perfect.
