These ones right? (These are 19s that will fit a 550i I believe)
But please comment on 20".

Yes, those are the same wheels.
There are three different stages in F14 concavity; semi concave, deep concave and super deep concave.
You can fit the 20" F14s in 550i, but I am not sure if you can fit super deep concave in front, because pretty low offsets are needed to make a super deep concave wheel. Rears would work fine.
The minimum width for the 20" super deep concave wheel is 9.5". To fit a 9.5" wide wheel in front in 550i, you would need an offset something like ET20 to clear the strut, I think. However, 9.5x20 ET20 wheel would probably poke out a bit. I am not sure. With a bigger offset the wheel would be more stucked in, but it would hit the strut. With a lower offset it would poke out more. Usually a deep concave F14 wheel is used in front if it's not an M5 with larger front wheel arches. Maybe the super deep concaves would be doable in front too. If you have coilovers, then it's hardly doable, because the height adjusting ring usually hits the tire with higher offset/wider wheels, as it sits very low on the strut.
