If you have a few more HP than stock they will be fine.  I am running 6.5R16
on my Syncro DoKa which are about 0.5" taller than a 205R16 which would put
them in the 29.5" tall ballpark.  They look really nice!  See
http://www.fastforward.ca/gallery/1988SyncroDoKa.jpg for what these tires
look like on the truck and
http://www.fastforward.ca/gallery/Fulda205Michelin65.jpg to see what the
6.5R16s look like in comparison to a 205R16 - I love the tread on the
Michelin XCL tires - anyone interested in some of these - I can get them
used.

Subject: First oversized wheels/tires report

My wife just picked up the new 235/70/16 BFG mud tires mounted on the CV-900
alloy wheels. She left me this phone message:

"Do you know how big these are? The tire store guy could not believe we were
going to put them on the vanagon. "

Guess I'll have a look when I get home.
