It's not worth going to 265's since they will be taller. 255's are almost the same height as 245's, which are the same diameter as the stock 225/50-16's.
275's will fit without rubbing or fender rolling and 285's will need rolling. The trick is the proper offset. I run 255's on the rear with a +35 but you don't turn the rear wheels. My fronts are 225/45's on 8" rim with +33 and needs fender rolling.
OEM offset is +50, so try to stick between +40 and +50 and stick with 255/40-17 on 17x9's. Currently you can get Pirelli P6000's for only $100ea on DiscountTireDirect. There is more info on this on the evil forum.
