He's asking about going wider, not taller.

Compared with your current 245, the 265 will be about 20mm wider, 275 = about 30mm, 285 = 40mm...all depending on the tire mfg.

265s wouldnt exactly stick out.. they definatly fill up the wheel wells nicely though..

new wheels would push your tire out further..
