You will need smaller tires, a 30 or 35 sidewall would be more appropriate.
Also realize the car will look like *** until you lower it.
If you want 20s get 20s but be prepared for the extra cost to make it look "right", but that may be impossible depending on the style of wheel.
Also check backspacing.

Also, the car came with these 20s wrapped with 245/40/20 front (27.7") and 275/35/20 rear (27.6), and though they rub under hard corners and dips (sagging DeCarbons), they are just BARELY rubbing at stock ride hide.
People run 27-28" tires all the time right? Should be fine regardless of rim size, but as far as I know 28" is about the limit without much modification.

Verdad Gallardo People run 28s in a drag tire... mainly because they need traction and more sidewall provides that... plus they are geared to take advantage of it. 4.10s or shorter. Generally 4.30s or 4.56s.
i dont mind 20s but it has to be the right wheel,offset,etc, imo a killer forged wheel,cut down rear end,huge lip in the rear ,and maybe even mini tub, just my 2cents but most cheap chrome 20 inch rims look very ghetto ,and imo makes the car look cheap, also before you buy these cheap wheels check tire prices, not going to be that great a deal if you have tonspend double the ammount to buy tires,your car do as you wish but there is a reason 20s get bashed so hard, but if you got the bucks and take a few tips that i posted i think it could look sick,and maybe ecen some custom wide fenders and air ride( yeah i know it can be very pricey)
