A 305/70 is a 12.5" tire so you can do either a 16x8 or 16x10 I have a 16x8 rim with a 12.5" tire so you can go with that but that is the max width of a tire you can go with a 16x8, it is cheaper for that size rim but the tire sticks out more with a 16x10

ok well i'm not too familar with rims because i've never had to buy any, i just wasn't sure if either a 16x8 or the 16x10 would allow the rim and tire to fit correctly, but after talking you you raul and psd0389 i'll just go with the 16x8
