The tire sidewall height depends on the aspect ratio of the tire. Example: a tire that's 205/60R16 has an aspect ratio of 60... or *about* 60% height of the 205mm width. So a 205/65R16 tire will have a slightly higher sidewall...205 * 0.65 = sidewall height approximately. More info google tirerack.com
LOL - on the stock wheels looking horrible - that depends on your likes. That's like saying a woman with a particular hair color is horrible (unless you're talking purple or something).
Google "plus sizing". Essentially, as you go up in wheel diameter, you'll have to decrease sidewall height (aspect ratio) so that the outside tire diameter remains similar. This will avoid having speedometer errors and other similar issues, and suspension/steering problems. You'll want to make sure the tire/wheel combination doesn't rub on fenders, brake calipers, etc. Also remember that a lot of custom wheels are inferior in terms of weight, design and may bend easier when abused (hit a pothole, etc.), unless you go with a good brand.
Lastly, I already mentioned tire rack.com...I also have an add that shows on the side here on benzworld for tire discount or something.
