Safe margin for upsizing is to keep the % increase in diameter <3%.
In addition to what CzechItaliaMto rightly said, upsizing tires will add pressure to the power steering.
Our Civic's hydraulic steering system is not one that can take abuse, so need to keep it safe as well to prevent leaks from occurring.

Hi sarathlal, the upsize I mentioned is approx 9% increase in diameter, so got it , it's a big no-no! And steering pump is an achilles heel for our Civic. Thank you sarathlal for your input between where are you in Trivandrum? I'm staying in Kulathoor/Kazhakkoottam, maybe we can catch up.
