Multi-X Wheel Fitting on 240 200 1990

I am looking to buy a set of 15" Multi-X rims (from a 780, so not Scorpius?).

The rims have Bridgestone Potenza RE11 205/50/R15 tires on them.

I have a '90 245 with standard steelies, with 185/70/R14 tires mounted, lowered with IPD springs and Billy HDs (don't remember how much lower).

I realize the change will make the speedometer 4.7% "too fast", which isn't really a problem for me. I also read about the brake caliper clearance issue, so I will make sure the balance weights go on the inside of the tire/rim.

Two questions I have:

1. Will these be too wide for my 240?
2. Is the sidewall on a 205/50 tire going to be too short to handle the weight of the wagon?

All advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mike
