advanti and xhp have a nice range. but it depends if your going bling or not?
You getting chrome, or not? also wont you have to roll your guards if you get 20's. My mate put 20" chromies on his ea and needed to roll. I dont mind the xhp - Boost. (20" - 10")

Good luck finding rims that are 20 x 8.. chances are they will be 20x 8.5 or 9.. i am running 19 x 8.5 all round with 245/35 tyres and it rarely rubs in the front.. never rubs in the rear.. i only know of one rim that comes in 20's for pre au offset and it is posted in the RIMS DATABASE..
Good Luck.. Cheers, Nik

what if you go for three piece rims then you won't need dodgy spacers.

That monty with the big flat 20's would be in the top 5 worst looking falcons ever. Right up there with XF Gli with raised rear air/towing shocks

Mate if I was you I would go 19's max. Bigger doesn't always mean better!
Seriously, even though they are nice rims, that BA with the 20's still looks a bit weird. Maybe its just be, but some cars weren't made with 20's in mind at all.

as long as you have a tyre profile that isnt too large, the total circumference should be the same so should not be illegal as far as i know. insurance wise anything ova 18" on an ef is un-insurable
