Well so far from everyone that iv heard from that has put 20s, theyv all rubbed, so im sure ur gonna have to raise it, IMO tho it looks better with 18s and not raised on 20s, it looks good when the car is lower to the ground.

thats all up to you man, its all personal taste, me personally, i love bigger rims. but not if their gonna rub or if i have to raise the car. the look i like is a low car wit big rims, but we gotta face it wit our ESs we are limited to the size we can put .

Don't raise it proper offset and fender rolling would work. Most won't recommend 20" for the ES

20s are completely unecessary and look stupid as hell. Sizes 20 and over are IMO ment for trucks. Not every day driving sedans. and raising your car has nothing to do with it really. You could rub on the inside of the wheel well due to the wheel and tires diameter. Have fun with 30 sidewalled tires too, 1 pot hole and consider yourself in debt for another wheel or more than 1 wheel. Think harder bud, it's not that hard.
