Get some decent 18's. I've got Enkei DM-5's in 18" form on my '97 GT and it looks alright. If you want some pics let me know your email. The tires on them are 235/50/18 iirc, fit without a problem. I'd bet that with 20's you'd def. have rubbing issues turning the wheel to full lock left-right.

Bolt pattern is 5x115

You can have it repaired for much cheaper then a replacement.

Yea bolt pattern is 5-115 and 20's will fit with a smaller tier. I think maybe at the most a 40 siers tier will fit. There are a coulple of them around where i live that have 20's

besides my personal opinion of thinking that 20s are a little overkill on most cars, you run the risk that with such a low sidewall height on your tires that damaging those expensive rims is pretty easy. potholes, bridge expansion joints, manhole covers just to name a few. I've seen some cars with big rims that looked way cool, but I would be afraid to drive them on the street. To me a 40series tire is the low limit for street use and even that is questionable. 45 or 50 series is much more usable and doesnt destroy your ride quality either. given that, 18s are really kind of the upper limit to run on our cars.
