So I upgraded from a 95 Grand Marquis to a 2003 Lincoln Town Car. What a beauty! But I need tires. Right now I have 225x60x17 on there. What other sizes can I put on 17" rims?

I'm assuming you want to go wider?
235/60/17
245/55/17
235/55/17
Those are probably your common (good selection of tire models) sizes that are a bit bigger but will still fit reasonably on stock wheels. Going too wide compromises handling and wear. Going too tall throws off the speedometer/odometer and causes rubbing while turning.
