Based on the tire size this is a fat set-up so you shouldn't have to cut/pull/roll, etc. The big questions is, what are the off-sets (front/rear)?

If you're going from stock 16's to 20's your ride will suffer. There's no way of escaping it plus sizing that significantly.

You should be fine. The tire size and offsets you got aren't aggressive at all. And with that mild of a drop, you'll RARELY rub if ever. I've got 20's with similar offsets and same tires. The only time I rub is in the front going into driveways or something too quickly. And I'm dropped 2.5" in the front.
