Yeah i like the wheels, too, but ive had 235's on a wagon and they only fouled the guard when the axle got some angle on driveways. Running 225's on 8inch rims now and have had no scrape issues at all.

it's not so much the width that makes em scrape but the offset.........

They look great. A lot like my drift teks. only thinner spokes. Dark wheels in a dark car can be hard to pull off though.

For sure, they would spruce up the wagon heaps. Go for it :)
