What sorta suspension setup are you running...?
Id say regardless with 20" you will need to pump/roll/flare the guards mainly as the fronts will scrub when cornering...mine dide with superlows, lowered shocks and 19"x8" wheels....what width are the rims most are 8" or above...

Yeah but almost all 20's are a 225 tyre, whereas the 19's are usually 245 or maybe a 235.
Probably still a very good idea to roll/lip your guards, or it could be a costly first outing with the new rims. |

Yeh when i took a nice slice out of a $360 235x45 R19 tyre...know all about it...they did scrub a lil from time to time... guards were rolled the next day hehehe....$50 a side some will charge that per guard but well worth the money...stupid pot hole on a corner as the wheel rebounded scrubbed the guard big time n took a clean slice out of it.

ive got ultra lows all round, when i had the 17's the tyres would pull down the guards lip.
when i got the respray i got him to roll the guards so that lip now is bent all the way up and never get any more scrapes now, ive got 235/35 on 19's now. |

got some pics of my rolled guards:
i got these rolled with the respray, rolling guards can crack paint, and all my mates that have tried have cracked the paint and exposed metal causes rust, which u dont want. so its best to get a pro to do it. i think i have read that if u want to do it yourself you need to get a towel soak it in really warm water and hold it on the guard for a while then get a block of wood and a hammer and hammer wood on inner lip to roll it, the heat from the towel helps it. |

19's fit nice and still look good
20's start to make the car look over done in my opinion my 19's have 265/30 on the rear

i reckon 20s fill the guards very nicely, if i ever go bigger, id try 22's somehow.
