33x12.50 or 305/70

I have decided to go with a 10" wide wheel with 4.5" BS. When looking at tires everyone says the 305/70s will fit with trimming the front valance....I've also been told that 305/70s are the equivalent of 33x12.50s...is this true? When looking for tires can I look at 33x12.50s too? Thanks.

A 305/70-16 is the same as a 33x12.50-16. Most tire manufactures use the P metric sizing system for 16 inch tires while a few (Super Swamper) use the floatation sizing system.
