Granted, one tire size larger won't make that much of a difference, but if you are trying to go as large as will fit on the wheel and inside the fenders, it might be another story. Don't sacrifice handling for looks.
Oh for sure....but this small of a change shouldn't be that big of a difference in weight.

If I go bigger, I'll do new wheels and probably have Forgeline make me some of their one piece forged units. Lightest ones I know of and I trust what they build.

I like the ones they did for H&R's A3
