Hi
You can't really put bigger tires without changing the speedometer, but you can put larger tires on. The previous owner of my car put 215/75r15 tires on my ar and they fill the wheel well nicely. The come close to rubbing but don't. This is the highest profile i would go. The stock tires for the 240 I think is 195/60/15. The profile system of tires is simple. If you go up 10 in profile it changes your diameter 1 inch and increasing by 5 increases the diameter by 1/2 and inch. Each time you move your wheel size up an inch you need to decrease the profile by 10. hope I answered your question.
