These are somewhere around, I don't have a photo readily available of the 275s...

OP, More importantly, you would want to know the wheels used too if you are after what I think you are (how much they stick out). For instance if it was a 10.5 wheel or 11 wheel and what the backspacing is.

Not much benefit in doing that as your actual contact patch will be basically the same when using a 9.5 wheel as it will be pulled in to fit on the wheel. If you are going more for the look that would be fine but if you are looking at 305's for more tire on the road you really need at least a 10.5+ wheel.

Here is my 2020 HC with Nitto 555RII on HR5 20x11 wheels.
To each his own but I would not go wider then a 295 on a 9.5 inch wheel. Doesn't look right, doesn't fit right and doesn't

I totally agree with 2ndAmend on the 10.5 if all you are going to run is a 305. But if you get a 11 (not much if any price difference) you can run a 305 or 315 if you choose. Just more options.

I was going to just use the factory 9.5" wheel. I see people putting the 305 tire on it
Very bad idea and a waste of money if you do. The 9.5" wheel has a maximum contact patch of 275mm. Anything larger and that extra rubber you pay for won't even touch the ground at the same time. I say this because they will "skate" side to side under heavy load. This will reduce traction, control, and generally make you slower than before. Well, in theory. The factory 275s are terrible. Even a skating oversized, improperly mounted Michelin will perform better. However, a Michelin at 275 would outperform the factory tire and the 305 Michelin.

So, long story short, you need an 11" wheel to get full use out of a 305.

What would be the aspect ratio on 295 tire on a 10.5” rim? Was just looking at tirerack.com, and there are many different tires shown as Michelin 4SPS at 295/35/20 which are appearing even more expensive than the same 305/35/20s.
