You can run 255/50 BFG drag tires at the strip, but I wouldn't run that for normal use.

If you want wider tires on the stock rims, run 245/45s.

Will this fit on a 89 GTUs rim. It is a 16" rim.

An 89 GTUs rim is 7" wide. The minimum recommended width for a 245/45 16 tire is 7.5". So, not a good idea.
