And you are correct.

What happened though, was in your upper post (#8) you stated that a 305/70/16 was the same diameter as a 285/70/16, which isn't true and he was correcting you. But, it sounds like you meant to type a 75 instead of 70.

yea i know about the 285's on stock wheels not rubbing but what about a 305/70r16? will those rub probably just a little bit at full lock or probably not being is its on a stock wheel and not these wide 15's. I mean i had to buy a used one because the P.O did a couple of brake-stands before he got rid of it so i bought a used 33 and when they took the tire off the rim i was like JESUS!!!!
