Re: bigger tires
i dont think you can go too much wider without it just bulging, to really feel up the wheel wells you need to move to like 10.5" wheel imho. A change in width wont require changing anything in the tuner as long you as go with the right aspect ration for the sidewall.

Re: bigger tires
I've been running 275/40's on my stock rears for years without issues. Here's a pix of how they look on the rims.
