Both they fit with the eight and I'm almost done doing the 8.8 swap. The eight inch was at 56.5" WM to WM. The 8.8 is at 57" WM to WM.
WM =wheel mount surface. If the flu hadn't caught me I'd be test driving it now.

One more question, do you remember the back space on your wheels?
I can measure them to be sure but I think it was 4"

Just wondering, mine are 3-1/2". Hoping I can fit 205-70-14
Do you have a tire shop that will test fit for you? We have a local one here that as long as the have the size tire I'm looking for will mount on the wheels and then the car to see what kind of clearance there is.

No Scott, I would have to drive the car to Spokane.
I did mount the wheel and did some measuring. Pretty sure I can fit a 205-70-14. The rear might be a fight to get on. Even at full droop there isn't much room between the brake drum and fender opening.
I may go with a 195 just to be safe.
