If you go with anything 20 and over you will need extended trailing arms. I HAD ( didnt like the ride on rough country roads) 24's on mine with skinny tires. They fit with air shocks in the back and knuckles in the front. No need for a big lift.
5x4.75
5x(4+3/4)
5x120.65
5x120.7
If you go with anything 26" and over you will need extended trailing arms. 24s with 275/25/24 tires will fit without extended trailing arms or any lift. Replace your old springs and shocks with new ones first and you won't need those knuckles and such.

24's will fit without extended trailing arms but your wheels wont be centered in the rear. And in the long run thats not good. Best to by adjustable trailing arms and do it right. Regardless you wont be able to turn for sh*t. I ditched mine got some 17 cragar ss and love the ride. I can even do a u-turn now

True, but they're still not a necessity for rims under 26". Most people don't ride on their rims all year long anyway. I always take mine off after the summer usually. Pay close attention to the rear wheels of the '94-'96 Impala SSs and Caprices and they're rear wheels aren't centered from the factory. As long as your tires are rotated and balanced as often as they should be then you should be fine.
Yeah true. My cutlass is a Saturday driver only plus in Texas we have no need to even change rims. It only rains twice a year it seems like. Now on my Grand Marquis 24's fit like a glove and ride as smooth as the stock rims and thats my daily driver that I dog the sh*t out of. I wish it would have been the same with my cutty cause they sure looked good on it.
