for the love of everything easy and simple to search!~ My intent on my new Sport S is to put a 2.5" lift kit and I want tires that can give me another 1-2" of lift. What size of tires should I be looking at?

Anything up to a 35x12.5 is common. That width is just outside of the recommended limit for a 7.5" wide wheel, but many have done it without issue.

285/75/17 is a 34 x 11 tire giving you an extra 1" of 'lift' and they will have an approved rim width that includes the stock 7.5"

As noted by Mike though, a lot of people run 35 x 12.5 so they'll work too.

As far as “officially approved” for that width, you’re good up to 295’s and whatever height.

thanks, and I assume at a certain point I will have to have the lift kit in to ensure nothing rubs? I want it as high "naturally" as I can get it through tires.
