Ok so here are the specs.
22" tubes
frame 59" wide where the towers mount
8" towers.
I'm 6'1"
standard NRS seat bar and NRS seat.

I would like to get the shortest oars I can go with for this WW set up.
I realize there is a lot more involved, but is there anyone similar sized with a similar set up, and what size oars do you use? Thanks

so its a 54" nrs frame. I have 6" towers and 8 foot oars are perfect but with 8" towers you might go 8.5.

I had a 12 ft. Hyside with a 54 inch NRS frame. I used 8.5 foot oars. I like longer oars in general. I had to use the 10 inch towers to get the right width for the longer oars.

Just got a smaller boat. 13 footer with 60" wide NRS frame and 8" towers.
8.5 ft oars work okay, but wish I would've gotten 9 footers...
I do like longer oars though...

I have a 12' boat with a 48" frame, 8" towers and I went with 8' oars thinking that would be plenty, but wish I would have gone 8.5'.

6'1"
10.5' Hyside Minimax, 18" tubes, with 48" frame, 6" oar stands; 7.5 oars worked fine.
Then got 12' raft w/19" tubes; frame fit, but a tad narrow; tried 8" stands -- like it better with the 1 foot extenders (total = 8.5').
Recently got cat with 22.5" tubes and 60" frame -- ordered 9' oars (might have been smarter to borrow/rent 9' first, but...)
YMMV.
