years ago I used to sell tires & we had what was called a "tire fitment guide". This guide would tell us (in most cases) what larger size tires would fit a particular vehicel. I would think tire stores would still have something like that. (I hope)

Here's a good tire size calculator to get some tire dimensions.

Do you know the backspacing for stock rims and what year is your caprice?
