I find the stock speaker wires (at least in my '87) were quite adequate, being 16 gauge. This is more than large enough for even the 50w RMS Gavin mentions, given the lengths involved. That said, I did replace my wiring, only because the stock wires were really too short for my purposes, and since my amp is in the back, I didn't need nearly as long a run to the rears. I couldn't tell any difference in sound after changing the wires.
As noted, you will want to remove the crossover, assuming the new speakers you are installing are full range or coaxial with built in crossover.
