Changing tire sizes

Hey guys, quick question. How much will it effect traction and the speedometer to change tire sizes a little? I am currently extremely limited on tire choices because of the odd size they are. I am currently at 265/40r19 and 285/35r20. Should I change these to get more choices or just suck it up and buy the size that matches.

Thanks for your help

It's generally recommended to maintain tire diameters within 2 to 3 % of the originals, without a computer correction for size change. (speedometer, ABS brakes and automatic, when applicable.)
I think question of traction for your GT500(?) should be addressed separately. :D
