Saw these in the summit catalog and think I might give them a shot, they're a bit different from my N97's. What are the tire sizes I can put on this rim as close to stock as possible?

Thanks

If you are looking for the stock height of about 28inches you can run a 255/60 but the clearance
on the rear will be tight.I am getting ready to mount a set of 225/70/15 which will have plenty of clearance.You can run up to a 275/60 on that 8inch rim.Going to look awesome on your wagon.

I'm doing heavy duty shocks in the back, and variable rate springs. It's going to raise the back about an inch. So I don't think I'll have a clearance issue. But I'm glad you mentioned it as I never thought about that. I have 225/70 on there now with my N97's. Maybe its just me but they look small for the wagon. But you're saying 225/70's will fit on these as well?

Yes I ran 225/70/15 on a set of 8inch rallys years ago.They went on a 70 Monte Carlo and looked
real good.Sidewall was straight instead of bowed and I personally have always liked that look.

You may have to change the VSS driven gear with the larger tires. Check here http://www.transmissioncenter.net/ and scroll down until you find the link to speedometer info. They have a chart/formula to figure out the correct gear size.
