They will fit. First off what year is your car so we know how big of fenders you have. Second off I'm not exactly sure what size tires you need. You want super low pro's or so sidewall and how wide is the rim?1989 Grand Marquis LS

it seems the recommended tire size is 255-35-20...
FREE SHIPPING! American Muscle Wheels Deep Dish Bullitt Gloss Black Wheel; 20x8.5 exhibits an exquisite finish, adding a touch of elegance to your vehicle. The
it also seems that the stock tire (215-70-15) diameter is 26.9", and for 255-35-20 it is 27". So, there really shouldn't be any more stress on suspension components than stock wheels. Naturally, ride will be a little bumpier than stock tires, but it really shouldn't be that much worse than a good set of performance tires with stiff sidewalls. I know mine are bumpier than hell, and they are only 60 series. Width could pose a problem, as stock is 6.7", a 235-60-15 upgrade is 7.7", and the 20's are 9.4" wide. I have 9" wide on the back, and it is fine there, but the fronts rub just a hair at full lock with the 7.7" that I have on there. But, it might work out alright, as it's only an extra .85" per side.1987 Country Squire LX Wagon 5.0L: Daily Ride......1964 Lincoln Continental 430ci: Toy #1.

Enough with the BS- first and last warning.
I've fit 335/35/17s on 10.5" wide wheels all the way around on the wagon, which has a bit more clearance. 20's will clear the front suspension better.
255s should fit fine. Just make sure to get the right backspacing,Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons
