Anyone know these wheels?
Your main concern for not getting 19s is that it will not look much different than 18s.
Well, any time you're getting wheels with lips (especially when staggered with larger lips in the rear), these wheels normaly (very seldom there is an exception to this "rule") look an inch less than they realy are. That is because of lips, hence my comment.
And if you do go with 20s, then what your shop recommended is the way to go - larger than "sock" diameter tires (if they fit). I would assume 255/30-20 front & 285/25-20 rear, or 235/35-20 front 265/30-20 rear. Realy not sure if 245/35-20 will fit coupe's front, but if it does it would be ideal. Then you can safely run 275/30-20 rear. And NO lowering needed at all then.

I just answered this under the other post titled: "C207 - What size, style and spec are these wheels?" CKM car design website.
