Well, I do not have my 20's on yet so I cannot say, but I'm getting the same size tires and the place that I am getting them from told me that I could also lower my car by about an inch. I can't verify this since I haven't done it, but I'm sure some of the other members can. I will know more about it on Wed. or Thurs. when I get my wheels.

No problems here. I have the H&R Sport springs riding on 19"s. If you have the 545/550, the drop will be 1.3" in the front and 1.2" in the rear. From what I have seen, there is minimal gap from the wheel well to tires on the 20"s without springs.

To give you an example of what the H&R Sport spring's drop looks like go here for some pictures of my ride. It's the Titanium Gray with M5 wheels.
