I have NO problems what so ever with my 22" Vertinis...I think 20" is a bit small...But it is a taste thing....The ones I have tend to look a bit smaller then 22 as well so it depends alot on the look of the wheel. Did you see the link I posted?

cpt joe don't ever attempt to rectify or modify the engine or suspension to avoid future trouble, the rest of the aesthetics are by far ok to revise

I would go 22's over the 20. The 22 is a much nicer look on these large sedans. Just my thoughts. I have 22's and have zero problems other than killing the parking lot when I pull in. Game tight.
