You want around 4.5" of backspacing or less. So either of those wheels will work just fine.

Offset and backspacing are just two different ways of measuring the same thing. BS is just much easier to understand and visualize. As for the "305", in th emetric sizing system the first number is the width of the tire in millimeters. 305's and 315's are basically 12.50 inches wide.
