All motor vehicles are designed to operate most efficiently and safely with tires of a particular size and aspect ratio. You can sometimes increase the width by a small amount if you decrease the width-to-height ratio so that the overall height of the tire stays approximately the same as the original; for example, replacing a P215/65/R15 with a P235/60/R15. This would give you a wider tire with a nearly identical overall height. Doing this, however, is not recommended.
For a number of reasons, you should use only the exact tire size specified by the manufacturer. A larger tire, for instance, could interfer with suspension or steering parts when steering the vehicle, and a larger or smaller tire could affect the operation of the speedometer/odometer since in either case the tire will turn slower or faster than the original at a given speed.
Today's motor vehicles are complex engineering systems designed with safety as a paramount concern. You should not modify the vehicle in any way (including changing tire size) that could affect the structural integrity or the safe operation of the vehicle.
