20s is possible though, tires will have to have sidewalls 30 in front and 25 in the rear and you still might need to roll/cut your fenders.

Depends, how wide do you want the wheels in the front and rear?

I think the norm has been 20x8.5 et20 (or 20x9 et20) fronts and 20x10 et25 (or 20x10.5 et25) rears.

How much do the 20s weigh? Can you get 25 -27 pound wheels?
