The rim diameter must stay the same but the actual width of the tyre changes along with the sidewall profile.
Say you have an 18'' wheel and standard tyre size is 235/50R18 to get a bit of stretch you would put a 'narrower' tyre on with a lower sidewall profile aswell if you liked, so say something like a 215/40R18
Depends how much of a stretch you want though.
