You can go as wide as you like, this will not effect the speedo reading....., larger/smaller circumference tyres will effect the speedo reading.....

I have 33" x 12.5" x R15's on BB and the speedo reads under by 5mph

Range Rover Blues:
I've got 235/85 and they are pretty much the same as a 750.  Of course the deep trewad makes them that much bigger when new.  As standard they should be 205/80 or 235/70, at a push 225/75 are slightly bigger but close.

Thing is I find my speedo accurate with bigger tyres on, though my tripmeter now isn't.

Guardian.:
you should try some 56/12.5/16 the speedo is exactly right with those somehow, you could experiment past half a dozen speed cameras.
plod will let you know if it was spot on, or maybe a little bit out, but do it past plenty of cameras so you have a good average to work from.
