Snow Tires - Will they fit?

Hi all,
I've got a 2008 retired OPP Crown Vic. Standard tires on this thing are 235/55/R17.
Got a line on some snow tires, Nokian Hakkapeliitta, that are 245/65/R17.
Anyone know if I'll have any problems installing these? Any rubbing in the wheel wells or on the suspension?

Thanks in advance.

No, those are 3 sizes bigger and will rub.

You are very correct. I bought them to as to not miss out and they did rub when the wheels were fully left or right. Time to sell.
Thank you for getting back to me.
