23mm vs 25mm diameter for tight seat tube clearance

My old steel Trek 957 frame hardly has any clearance between the wheel and the seat tube. With 23mm tires I've only got a few mm clearance with the derailleur bracket.

I'm a bigger dude...220 lbs. I've been riding this with 23s for the last 5 years. Just blew the sidewall in a newer GP5000 so time to buy new tires anyways.

I'd go 25mm tires if I knew I still had clearance.

Anyone know or recommend a 25mm tire that only gets wider and not much taller?
