So looking to get new tires

If you go slightly wider but keep the same aspect ratio, you'll have a taller tire.
OEM is:
Front: 255/35-20
Rear: 295/30-20
That gives you equal height tires at 27.0" tall.
So as not to affect the ABS, traction control, etc., you need to keep the front and rear heights equal, right?
If you switched to this:
245/40R20
325/30R20
then you'd have 27.7" tall tires.
The car does allow for some margin of error, so you could try this setup that's 1/10th of an inch different:
265/35R20 27.3x10.4R20 27.3"+1.1%
315/30R20 27.4x12.4R20 27.4"+1.5
Then you'd have a wider tire and it would .3" taller in the front and .2" taller in the rear.
I love taller sidewalls, it gives the car a meatier look, drives better, resists potholes better, and may resist sliding in corners.
I'm going to not mess with it and stick with the OEM sizing myself.

I'm RWD only, so I just switched to 265/30/20 front and 295/30/20 rear on aftermarket HRE wheels. If I had it to do again, probably would have gone 275/30/20 for the front - think they would have fit and would be a bit taller.
OP - one other option - lower the car (Velocity AP are a good moderate drop choice) then you won't have to go to a taller tire...
