Measure it.
You can normally go about 1" bigger (on each side) IF it does not hit anything.
Beyond that, spring pressure is not enough, and too much of a strain on the wiper motors and other parts.
Suggest you consider Silblade - a teflon coated blade that is made with silicon and graphite powder.
That will lower the power needed a bit.

I am running the new Rain X wipers in 24" lengths. They work great.

I installed the stock size Bosch blades the other day and am really pleased with their performance. Advance and Autozone both often have them on sale for "buy one and get the second 1/2 price" or similar deals. Never thought about getting a larger size but will next time. Ha!

You wouldnt think a couple of inches (hold the Pe Pe jokes) would make as much of a difference as it does! I would highly recommend the new Michelin's and Rain X wiper blades in cold snowy climates, as they dont tend to freeze up! I love the extra site (through the road salt) that the 24" wipers give me!

Me too. Just installed them yesterday and they do make a very noticeable difference.
I agree there's no reason to go any bigger than 24"
