Re: 20 in rims
Sure they'll fit, just run 225/30/20 tires.
My take on it is that a lightweight 17" wheel with the appropriate tire will give the best performance. The factory size will give you better ride comfort with a slight loss in handling response. For style I prefer 18's, although I really like the look of my BBS wheels. Going to 20's comes with significant drawbacks. You will feel every tiny irregularity in the road, and as Benebob said the additional weight will hurt your cars performance (However, I always think this aspect is blown out of proportion. Few of us drive our cars hard enough to notice any minor decrease in performance.)
The biggest drawback in my mind is that you WILL bend them. Running what amounts to a rubber band for a tire means that any sharp bumps in the road will be transmitted 100% to the wheel, and eventually you'll hit something that will put a good dent in the lip of the rim. If you're uber careful, only drive the car on weekends, and avoid roads that have even a hint of potholes you will still end up tapping something at some point and voila, bent rim.
In any case it's your car and you are free to do as you please with it.
