I would like to get wider tires as well. I'm worried that if I go up to 275 on 16inch rims that it won't fit. When my current wheel is turned all the way to a side there is only 3" of clearance; the bigger rim takes away 1" of that.

A 275/70/16 is 31.2" tall and 11" wide; my current setup (235/75/15)is 9.3" wide and 29" tall. It looks like I may be able to get away with a 265/70/16 though.
