The 255/275 combo gives you only 10mm more width but also adds some height on the sidewall. This can sometimes make it look like the wheel wells are filled up better, and might marginally improve ride comfort at the expense of steering response. Whether or not you can even feel this difference is debatable, especially for a daily driver.

My two cents: if you can change to the 255/275 sizes for no extra cost, do it purely for the improved ride quality and extra wheel protection. I certainly would not pay a restocking fee or big upcharge for it.
