You still running stock rims? 16" tires in wide sizes are not common these days.

I have the AFS ZR1 rims on my 85. They are 9 1/2 front and 11 rear. You can then run 275/40-17 on the front and 315/35-17 rear. Fitment is perfect, ride is great. I don't have that brake away feeling as I did with the 255's. Get there ET style lug nuts, there great. Here is a link http://shop.afswheels.com/ZR1-Wheels_c15.htm
