    more likely at the front but rear will touch the wheel well,
    and no matter how stiff your suspension if you go over a dip they will rub.

    lol, no.
    alot of work is needed to squeeze 20" under a vp....you would also need to run it at almost stock height as well for the needed bump stop clearance.
    pretty much the only way around this is to airbag it.

    umm,yeah ok...to have 20" rims on a vn/vp and have it so its legal alot of work is needed.
    you also can get lower, an example would be gettin shorten bumpstops...and if you air bag its goin to be low, on the ground low.
