to answer the first question, yes...they will fit. but you will have to roll the fenders

as for the pioneer radio..just to get it installed is 110? if so, you will have to consider that its going to have to be custom made..since theres no direct fit ones

about the 20's...i think it really depends on the width and offset of the rim. i'm currently have 20x8.5 tenzo gt5's right now and ended up putting spacers on the rear. it's tucked nicely but it's not flush so i didn't worry about rolling fenders. btw offset is pretty high.

and about your deck installed.. imo that's a pretty good price considering they will have fabricate a kit for your car. i just came from an audio place to inquire about getting a w200 put in my car and they said that just to make the kit will be 150.00 (not including installation).

20's can be done right IMO
You must have the Correct wheel, correct offset, correct drop or you are not going to be happy.

Just wait for the body kit to go on!

Really now? Nobody will do an sc around here for less than like 400 install because of custom.. that's even if they are willing to do it. This one place quoted install to be just over 1k?!?!?!?!

I frickin took the car apart and removed the stock radio to see how hard it was... not that bad! All I need is a harness and a custom front fit thing to make a new deck fit... Grrr... Neither which I have.

if you have a regular sound system i believe it, if it is lexus premium sound or nakamichi, then i doubt they realize what they are getting themselves into and once they do, they will be charging alot more. as far as 20's pretty gangster if done right

i think 20 inch rims are perfect. i have them in my car. u just need to get rubber bands for your tires. real low pros. i just came back from a trip from sacramento to los angeles with 5 people in the car. and didnt have a problem with my suspension and i have 20 on it. it looks bad ***.

I personally would have gone with a smaller rim size but the 20" was all i had and it worked out ok, I just can't wait until i get a coilover to lower it. Here's a pic of my sc wit 20's:
