They will fit but you might end up getting defected.

IMO 20s are too big for a box car. 18s at the most, or it starts to look like a hotwheels car.

I fitted 19's on mine with heaps of room for 20's so no problems dude
Get 35mm hub adaptors for the front and 30mm for rear so u can put on wide tyres

Just make sure the Tyres you get are the correct load rating for your car.

If it's only a sedan the load rating isn't really that big a deal until your looking at comercial vehicles. What you want to worry about is the rolling diamater as compared to the standard fittment tyre wheel combo. But each stste has different laws about this type of mod, check out the leagles first.

I beg to differ, wrong load rating = no insurance. I'm not sure how wide you can on on E Series on the front, but B Series you can go to 225/35 or 245/30, the 225's are really hard to get in the right rating. Yes you also want to get your rolling diameter as close as possible, my speedo is now dead correct.

Iv'e been in the tyre game for over 18 years and yet to see a tyre dot approved that was not sutible for a sedan, although a ute or commercial vehicle is a different kettle of fish.

i cant remember the number off the top of my head, but check your tyre placard for the load rating.
will be a 2 digit number with a letter after it. any tyre you get cannot legally have a load rating less than that. its more of a problem with BA/BFs because they are heavier cars and require higher load rated tyres, and alot of the cheaper skinny 225 width 20s (which are needed to clear on the front) aren't loadrated high enough.
