They are the same as 285-75-16's, just a bit wider, so probably.

285-75-16 = 32.8" (33) with a section width of 11.2", and sec. heigth of 8.4"

305-70-16 = 32.8" (33) section width of 12", and heigth of 8.4"

True that..

On the other hand, though theres a better difference with the 75's.

305-75-16 = 34" diameter, sec. width of 12", and heigth of 9"

and heres a calculator for anyone wanting to run some other sizes for chit's & giggles.

metric tire conversion

Nice site. I have all of those formulas and more floating around in my junk, but I have no idea where it's at.

I've got a 305/55R20 on mine, it fits properly, no rubbing.

Haven't had a chance to post a pic yet, but it looks awesome with Boss Black Chrome wheels on BFG All-Terrain KOs on LT305/55R20.

I hate all this metric crap...why can't we just go back to the days of simple 33x12.5x16 tire size markings. Or like in Dennis' day when horsepower meant how many horses you had hitched to the wagon...ahhh..simpler times
