You can fit 20's, but you won't enjoy the ride at all.

Make sure the lip design doesn't dip back into the rim too much otherwise the brake kit still won't fit. The rim size suggestion is an estimate of industry averages, but you could have a 19" that can't get a kit behind it. If it call for a 17, that's pretty safe. But get a suggestion from me on the design and I'll help you out so you don't waste your dough.
