the 2nd number is the aspect ratio (height to width), so if you change to a wider tire and the aspect ratio stays the same the tire will be higher. Select the widest tire w/ the lowest aspect ratio, then you won't sit very high in the rear.

A pic of my Corvette with 295/50-15 rear and 265/50-15 at front:
If you calc on it, rear: 295*0.50=147.5 mm and front: 265*0.50=132.5 mm section height.
147.5*2-132.5*2 = 30 mm = 1.2 inch diameter differens.
