No they actually fill the wheel wells equally, because the outer diameter of the tire needs to stay the same. The height of the tire in correlation to the height of the wheels gets smaller though when you move from 19 to 20 inch, so the tires look more skinny. And the optical effect of that is that the wheel well looks less filled. It sounds weird but that is actually what happens. Check out these pictures of unlowered US cars with 18" and 20" wheels:Not sure at the moment about lowering, I thought 20" would fill the wheel-space a bit more than the 19" but it's sure something I have considered before and could still do later on.
And here you can see the optical effect of lowering. My car with the same 20" wheels original and lowered. By the way the correct rear tire size on an EcoBoost is 295/30/20, not 285/30/20.
