no personal experience but a u/s forummer did chg to 20" from 18" on an e60.he experience vibration from day 1.did balancing 5 times i think.finally he put back the ori rim...vibration gone.maybe the quality of the 20' rim no good i donno.but me thinks if you were to get quality rims like bbs and the likes plus good tyres,you shud be ok.

I did change my tyre from 17's to 19's. Front 245/40 and back 275/35. Firstly you can't rotate the tyre, secondly the rear wheel tyre seems to wear off fast. 275/35 rear wheel tyre somore more expensive. 20's? Good luck brother, knowing our road all bumpy and plenty of pot holes.
