Check out tirerack.com, these guys have lots of experience with what will fit and what won't. If we could find a tire mfr who made a 235/15/20 tire, it might work. hope you drive on glasslike roads all the time, big wheels with low aspect ratio tires are notorious for tire/wheel damage from relatively small road imperfections. Good luck.

Yes 20's can be done.. but you may need fender work.. but possibly if yu were to do 20x8.5 with an offset of 35mm.. they may work and not have any rubbing problems (without lowered suspension).
and as for tires oyu would have to use a 225/35/20 or 225/30/20.. an ideal size would be 235/30/20.. but no one makes a tire like that.
Ive looked into this trust me.. I was going to do 20's but decided against it.
for 1 thing the tires available are very limited.. and sizes arent what I would like them to be.. fitment issues is another problem.. and finally the sure mass of a 20" wheel will definetly slow your car down a lot.
go with 19's.. you'll be much happier.
Im going to do another set of 19's for my car. still looking for the perfect set though!

I know for a fact that the 20's can be done, i saw 20's on a NEON!!! :p what you need is the NITTO NT555 it is 225/35/ZR20, look into them, they are very low profile but i havn't heard any feedback on them yet, so i cant tell you how well they perform, but i would trust Nitto...

20's on a w202 look stupid, its too big for our cars, 19 would be the top it would go, and you would have a crap ride... 18 mono's is always the winner classic look never fails....
