I have 208s and I can stoppie, so heres my advice- warm up your tires for one thing. Video tape yourself. When I started doing them I thought I was doing great, but in reality my back tire was only 1-2 feet up. It feels a lot higher than it really is. You don't really need to lean forwad that much, you should be able to do them with slightly bent elbows in a normal riding position.
