Yep - I've changed from the stock 255/35/20 front and 295/30/20 rear on the XKR 75 to 265/35/20 front and 305/30/20 rear, i.e. a 1cm width increase on both. I did the fronts first, then the rears a few months later - no errors or warnings while they were 'mismatched'. There is a small increase in rolling radius, so my speedo is now slightly more accurate than standard.

This site has a useful calculator that will show you roughly what the tyres will look like on your wheels, and also give you the change in speedo reading:
