Have you fully thought through this decision? My car, for example is a '06 C230 Sport. It has 17" wheels and the outer diameter of the tires is only 24.7 inches. So if you put 20" wheels on you are only going to have 2.35" of rubber surrounding the wheels.

The tires are going to be very expensive, they will offer little or no protection to the wheels on rough roads, they will be VERY stiff and change the ride of the car, and they will be HEAVIER guaranteed that 17" wheels which will make the car handle worse and perform worse.

This is a bad choice IMO. The only possible reason for this is some kind of Bigger is Better Pamela Anderson complex!
