nah you just got the wrong idea trust me. With my current drop and my wheels I am a lot closer to the ground than you will ever be with your 20"s. Where there is a will there is a way, and not with air.

True but rolling or pulling the fender is usually necessary as I have done. Although my wheels are smaller in diameter my offsets are far more aggressive. So it can be done if you want to do it.
