Default Another AWD Tire Ratio Question - Turbo S

Hoping some experts might tell me what to expect and should I do this. While lined up with several GT3s I noticed that the 991s and 20" wheels fill the wheel well much better than my car.

Right now - a move to 20s is out of the question but going up a little in sidewall 4.7% (FRONT) and 4.6% (REAR) should maintain the Porsche ratio or close enough. On top of appearance difference I like the idea that these tires will also protect the wheels better than the 30 and 35 profiles.

This minor change shouldn't affect braking and handling in any major way - or will it ?

Thanks in advance for any experience or expertise you can provide.
