The only possible concern is if a taller tire might rub with the fender or other parts. Tires are much cheaper, the OEM tires were $250 a piece.
In my case the difference in height of the new tire was half an inch and there was more than enough clearance to handle that.

Just did new wheels 17x7.5 et32 (OE fitment) and 235/60/17 snow tires for mine. No problems at all. You can run those tires anywhere from 6.5-8.5" wheel width. Great size for winter tires.
