    I have stock springs on the Sportvan still. And I'm running 15x8's. 215-65-15's on the front and 245-60-15's out back with no issues. You also have to consider the condition of your "Standard" springs. If you front springs are now flatter than flat you have to take into consideration the loss of clearance there as well.

    OK here we go... wheel and tire Comparo:

    Outlaw II mags: 235/60r15 on 15 x 7 up front, and 275/60r15 on 15 x 7 out back. The front 235's rubbed slightly on the forward lower corner lip of the front wheel wells during tight steering. Could have fixed it with minor trimming/grinding for clearance or rolling the lip up.
