Default Can I put a 265 tire on a 9 inch wide wheel?

i curently have 20 x 9" BBS wheels for my 2003 Jaguar XJR. The tires that are reccomended are 255/35/R20. what i want to know is can I get away with a 265 or 275? What are the pros and cons. Just want to put more rubber on the road. Car has about 700hp at the wheels. Thanks.

Shouldn't be an issue.

Are those factory BBS wheels? If so, they come in 20x10" for the rears and you could put even wider tires on those.

I'd like to know more about the 700 hp though.
