Default Rims for 01 Ultra Questions

I have an Ultra and I'm thinking about replacing the rims with the sport looking rims but in 20"

I'm curious if anyone has the 20" version of these Sport Editioin ST3 or if there are some actual photos with them on a car other than the 18" version.

will they fit with no issue? I was also thinking of lowering it a bit by adjusting the rods on the air suspension height sensors. I don't want to drop it really low I just want to get rid of the gap and I figure with 20's most of that gap would be taken care of. I figure it would probably only need about 3/4 inch in the rear and maybe an inch in the front, not sure.

attached is a picture of the rim not sure what it will look like with a 245/35ZR20 tire on it though.

the regular tirerack pic is on the top

the lowered photo is obviously under it, is that much drop doable with just the rods?

Any input would be appreciated, I'm not looking to break the bank and can't really buy a $6-700 data controller so I can lower it enough. As it is the cost with tires and shipping is $1150 I can't really afford that either but sometimes you just have to do what you have to do.

They should fit, plenty of 20s running around on the forums. As long as you maintain the offset, bolt pattern, and don't go too crazy on the width (245 are fine), then you're good. If you're going to drop the vehicle, then you'll need some more input here from other members that have the 20s and dropped. You'll have to adjust the camber I'm pretty sure.
