Just make sure that the DIAMETER is within 5% preferably within 2 1/2%.
jliu, he's keeping the stock 17"s, so it's going to be 8.5" wide in the rear, going to 265 might not be a proper fit, doubt if you can find 265mm tires for 17"s wheels, it's rare iirc, 255" will offer the best grip and performance w/o over doing it, less than 2% difference is not going to ruin anything.
