You will gain far more in grip from a switch in brand/compound than you EVER WILL with wider tires. EVAH.
HAVING SAID THAT.
If you can manage to break the traction loose on the stock tires regularly enough on the street, you're basically a statistic waiting to happen, IMO. There's too many variables that's out of your control for any meaningful increase in performance to be gained.
Now, if you're telling me that you don't care about performance but are after the looks from the honeys because, you know, chicks dig FAT tires? I'd tell you to go ahead and run 245F/275R width tires because that 20mm width is visibly noticeable. Other than that, any upgrade in width compared to a compound upgrade is meaningless because the additional width will only buy you extra heat capacity, heat capacity in which you will NEVER be able to exceed on the street.
