Default 92 740 Tire Discussion

Hallooooooooooo,

Finally got my 92 740 and looking for new shoes! I currently have 195/65/15 sf300 starfires on the wagon (previous owner.)
I am considering the Nokian Entyre 205/70/15 as I prefer a larger tire.

I'd be surprised if anyone has much experience with these tires, but if you do, please share your thoughts.
Main concern is the size.. Just want to make sure I wouldn't have an issue going a bit bigger.

What is the largest tire that can fit a 740 wagon without special modifications?

Would I be safe with a 205/70/15?

Hello,


I had 205/70 tyres on the back of my old car, and they never rubbed or anything. But I would think that size might hit the spring perch on the front. (I had 205/55 on front)


Here's the best pictures I've got of them:

Well, I've just seen this car on garaget with 205/70's on the front, so maybe it's ok!
