Bad idea in the first place most 20's are going to be too wide. Whats the size and offset of the rims and what size tires do you have.

Depending on offset and width you can roll your fender to help. If that doesn't work you can try to cut the whole piece off or pull your fender. If you still need more then its time to go WIDEBODY!!! haha.. I don't know about 20's on an ES but whatever floats your boat haha..

Wow. Well if you're into the raised DUBs look, you've certainly accomplished it.
