just make sure the diameter of the wheels are similar or you adjust your suspension ride height to compensate . You don't want to throw off your center of mass or you will change the handling.

There should not be any problem if you run the propper sidewall height. Example:
If stock fronts are 215/45R16, get 215/40R17.
If stock rears are 245/40R16, maybe a 245/30R18 will have the same overall diameter.
Now, finding a matching 17/18 inch rim set with the right offsets And width, that's a challenge.

wider tires is always better. i would go for the widest tires i could get. i would recommend

Front: 245/40/17

Rear: 275/35/18 (require high offset)

if you get +73 offset for the rear, you can fit 285/35/18 tires
