The increase in height should be due to the change in tire size, not RFT to non-RFT. Assuming that the same aspect ratio is used for stock to larger tire.

Using info I found on Tire Rack (Pirelli P Zero specs)

Stock rear tire size
245-35-18 => 24.5" overall height

Using the larger 255, same 35 aspect ratio
255-35-18 => 25.2" overall height
