However, I do know with the two sizes you are suggesting, you'll kill the stagger and the OD will be larger in both the front and the back than stock. The stock stagger is something like 25.7" in front and 26.7" in back. The sizes you mention are both the same, around 27". 255/30/20 and 285/30/20 would maintain the stagger. Those sizes are available from Michelin in their PS2 tire. They would be 26.1" and 26.9". These will also fit your wheels. Hope this helps.

Ugh. I can't get an answer to this.
Anyway my fronts are 19x8.5 and rears are 19x9.5
Currently I have Toyo T1R proxies 245/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear.
I want to save some money.
General Tires Exclaim UHP are ~$200 cheaper installed than the Proxies if I order from Tire Rack and have them shipped to and installed at a nearby shop.
But they only come in 245/35/19 and 275/30/19
Is there any issue if I do this? I'll note that I'm effectively nuetered at this point by traffic tickets and will not be doing any aggressive driving at all. Fastest I drive is about 75mph, even on the way to Vegas

Our Coupes were built to accommodate the stagger. BTW, the '08s have staggered tire sizes, but not staggered ODs like our coupes. Other cars with staggered ODs are Vetts, Vipers, Italian exotics and etc. IOW, we're in pretty good company, and the VDC, and handling characteristics are designed for this stagger. In the 245/35, 275/30 scenario, the rears are the same OD or marginally smaller than the fronts. As well as affecting the handling and the VDC, they look crappy because of the extra half inch of gap between the tire top and fender lip. All this to save a few bucks
This is a $40K sports car for gosh sakes. I'm sure if you must save a few bucks there are life style changes you could make, or you could buy a Civic or Corolla and save a lot more
