Don't know exactly how to write down rim size but I believe there 15in tall with a 5in backspace? right now the fronts are 215/60R/15 and the backs are 235/60R/15

What are the rim sizes? 15x7"? 15x8"?

Stock tire size for a 1987 GT is 225/60/15's mounted on 15x7" rims.

should be able to fit a 255/60-15 in back with no problems. As far as fronts I'd run a 225-245/60. If you're not racing(drag or anything) just run a 225/60 in front and back

I dont really race much other than the occasional stop light race. Im thinking if I go with 225/60s the car will not have enough tire and will look bad?
