Wide "meats" look impressive, but changing the stock width can, and often does change the hight too. Even going up a 1/2" in tire hight will probably slow your acceleration down.
Yeah, I was pretty aggravated when I ordered the PS2 285/35/19's for my SRT6 expecting to have the same width of the GY 285's. They were the same height though, about an inch taller. Here is a pic of some tire's closest is the OEM 255, center is a 275/40/17 and the last one is the 285/35/19 that I'm running on the back.
