Your GT500 would have had Goodyears stock.

Haha that's ok I'm assuming they aren't on your car now.

yeah I still have the F1's on and I assume they will rot off before needing replacements. Right now they have 2400 miles on them with 10/32nds (still new) go figure.

^ that makes your previous comment much funnier being that they are on your car. 10/32 is damn near new for sure.

Makes sense but I think I hated the Goodyears on my GT500 more than on my 2000. Traction was non existant and they were noisy as hell.

This probably isn't much help as I don't remember the offset, but I ran 255/60 on my '85 LX back in the day. I kept the quads, and had no clearance issues with either the quads, or the fender lip. At the time, I was using the stiffest control arms available (South Side Machine) and relocation brackets. My quads were worn out, and even with these control arms, I was getting some hop. I replaced the quad shocks with some aftermarket ones, and that was the end of my wheelhop problems.

They were just a generic (cheap) set of 15X8 cast 5 spoke wheels. I believe the company was Sendel. I wish I could remember the offset/backspacing, as that would be of more help to you.
