Default 20s with Stock Suspension?

Is this a bad idea?

The car I'm looking at has really low miles but has the non-sport wheels and I'm going to want to get rid of those things asap. I found a set of 20s that I like but was wondering if there was any problems with running them with the stock suspension...? I'm trying to keep this car as stock as possible (its my DD) and didn't want to get into suspension if I didn't have to.

Thanks guys!

There are a lot of photos of our cars on 20's with stock suspension and it will give you an idea of how it will look like, most of the people think it looks similar to a 4x4...

Depends of wheel offset and tires. I saw one with 20" and stock suspension
& looks beautiful... despite a little high. Modifing suspension is a bit costier and it will change your riding comfort.

pretty much. I hear that L-tuned(Eibach) drop 1.1 and maintain the same feel with no rubbing

Cool beans...
I'm not too set on keeping stock ride, I don't mind stiffer I just want to mod this car as little as possible (ha, yeah right) and spend most of my $$ on my 4Runner which is more of a toy anyway... I know I'll end up dropping it if I get the wheels, its only a matter of time. Though, I didn't want to look like a rere with big wheels and big wheel gap in the mean time. That gap is live-able. Thanks for all the help! I'll hopefully have pics up soon!
