I don't see why not. Look at what you have now. They are obviously worn, but still. You need 15 mm radially and 7 mm or so laterally in terms of clearance. If you compare new for new, you need 7 mm laterally and 11 mm radially, i.e sides and radius.

Just curious, why the larger size? Visual impact?

Let’s use something more factual then. The 235/55R19 can run snowchains on all four corners. There are also people running off-road tyres in 235/70R17.
If the snowchains clear on the inside and outside, the diameter itself is a non-issue. I ran 10mm chains in Norway last year.
