They should come stock with 255/45r17 on 17"x8.5" wheels up front and 285/40r17 on 17"x9.5" wheels in back. If you have the wider rims, 285's would be better suited on those rims, in the back. I'm not sure about 1996, but my rims (1990) have the size cast on the back (had to clean 11 years of grime and brake dust off to see it!). If you have 8.5" rims all the way around... I'd get a pair of matching 9.5" rims.

ps - don't forget to get an alignment!!
