I'd go with a little more profile, I like the meatier looking tires anyway. You could also buy some wheel spacers, they look pretty good on the ones that I have seen. PM Leo_06GT, he's got the spacers, and with his tires, it looks great.
305/35-20 would be 1.7" taller(28.4" tall)than you have now and 1" wider(12"). That should easily fit. My rear tire is 295/45-18(28.3"x 11.8")and I'm lowered 1.3" in the rear and I have no rubbing issues at all
True, 30 is the sidewall #, but that does not mean it is shorter than a 35 or even 40. That is the aspect ratio of the tire(% of the tire's section width). My 255/45-18 is the same height as my OEM 235/50-18 and my 295/45-18 is 1.2" taller than the OEM 235/50-18.
I dropped the Wife's GT 2" and you need to find a near 27.3" tire to fit nicely and have no rub when the springs compress. I'm sure you could go a bit bigger yet, but the name of the game is keeping the diameter near stock so that you are SURE it won't rub.
Your 285/30/20 is 26.7"
305/30/20 is 27.2"
295/35/20 is 28.1"
285/35/20 is 27.9" (my call - get all 4 and rotate them)
275/35/20 is 27.6"
265/35/20 is 27.3"

I'm telling you the 40 series I have are perfect 295/45 will be to big and look bad. People can't even tell they're 20s cause of the meat. If you do go with the 45 don't get to much weight in there!
