GXL comes with a 205/60/15. Just so you know what those numbers mean next time you hear them....the first number is how many mm wide the tread is, the middle number is the side wall height expressed as a % of tread width, and the last number is the diameter of the rim. So the tire I mention would have a side wall 60% as tall as the tread is wide.... 0.6x205=123 If you want to know what size your car came with look at the little label on the drivers door jam.

stock on 87 turbo is 205/55r16 on 16"x7" rims with 40mm offset.
you can fit 225/50r16 in the rear. but that size will probably rub in the front.
