The thing is they dont make a 305/75r16, they just make a 305/70r16 which is only a 33.5

Or at lest I havent found any.

Actually, a 305/70/16 really only measures about 32.8x12 (at least by calculations anyway). Im sure overall diameter/width changes slightly by tire brand and wheel width.

Are our wheels centered on the lugs or hub?
