You don't want taller tires because it will throw off the speedometer and odometer. Also, too tall will cause interference. If you want a slightly wider tire you can go with the tire size that is standard on V6 Tucsons: 235/60-16

The 265/60-16 tires is over 1.5" taller and 2" wider. Way to wide and too tall. And I highly doubt the tire woudl fit on the 6.5" wide factor wheel. It's just too wide.
