Actually the tyres aren't just wider the wall height is a percentage of the width so two tyres with the same profile (45) but different widths will also be different in overall diameter.

On your original question, yes changing to 50 profile tyres all round will raise the car, if you go for 205/50 all round it will infact be 15mm higher at the rear and 10mm at the front.

This is a great site for working out tire sizes - in your case your obviously looking at the overall diameter: http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp?action=submit

Is the car scraping the ground or are the tyres hitting the wheel arches?
