I was just shopping for tires and was wondering if anyone here was running 305/70/16's? I currently have 285/75/16s. My understanding is that the 305's are the same height just a little bit wider. Anyone have a pic of the 305's?

The 305/70s are just about a 33x12.5" tire and the 285/75s are just about a 33x11.5" tire. Don't know if these pics will help much, but it's my old street queen setup with 16x10" wheels (10" wheels makes them look wider than an 8" would):

Those pics help alot, thanks dejello. It just seems like most people here either runs a 33x12.50 on a 15 inch rim or the 285 setup on the 16 inch rim that I'm running now. Do you think that people do that to save money or are there other reasons? I'm pretty sure that the next set of tires I'm going to get are the 305's but I wanted to research a bit first.
