For an Acura TSX, can i change the tires from the 225s to 245's? will that cause a problem with suspension?

I want to know if anyone that has an acura TSX if it makes sense to change the tire to a bigger wider tire. I have 225's and i wanted to go to 245's. Is it ok to do so? Also does anyone have a suggestion for the best Model of tire to buy that will work well for all weather? I live in NJ. Any response will be appreciated. Thank you. J|||clearance for wheel well is only 1 issue,in the front it may rub when turn to lock to lock, at the back the fender will cut the side wall of the tire. you will gain grip or looks but lost agility. You also need new rims too, factory is 17X 7.5 change to 245's might need to upgrade so mind as well go for 18X8, Continental DWS is a good all weather , you decide tire size since not sure which rim you will be using|||You can go to a wider tire, but then you may have clearance issues in the fenderwell if the new tire has a taller sidewall than the stock tire. You'd need to keep the sidewall height as same as possible as the original tire. I'm assuming the full tire size is 225/45-17, so there are not many options for alternate tire sizes. I searched tirerack.com, and they sell no street legal tires that are size 245/40-17 or smaller sidewall.
