Your on the ball with that mate... thats def double in the front and triples in the rear.
I just hope your aware of all the problems your gonna run into with the setup ur after...

- REDICULOUS camber in the arse... 4 point camber kit will be a must have!
- Tucking 20's under SSSL rear will definatly involve rolling the guards and you will rub the plastic inner guard for sure...
- The front, 20s and SSL i can see some issues arising there... Had a mate who had SSL in the front and 20's, he was reversing out of a drivedway, had the wheels locked and as he came of the driveway lip the front of the car went down, the tyre caught the guard and pulled it in... 500 repair
- Speed bumps will be fun.... slow goin if u wanna keep your kit
Police attention, ur gonna be way too low and the rims will be too big... If u get pulled over for ANYTHING, they will lube u up and shaft you for everything! So don't drive stupid and attract attention! lol
- You will need a good chiropracted... i got 19's SSSL rear and SL front... and its a bumpy ride... 20's is gonna be fun... lol

Good luck with it

I wouldn't drive it with chopped springs full stop...
Thats like saying "F**K it, i don't need a steering wheel!"

The 16's will fit easy, and the car is gonna be STUPID low..

Check out my signature like... i got pix of mine with 17's still
the 20's will lift it!

the 20's will lift it cause the diameter will be too big..
In order for the 20's not to lift it your tyres would have to be like 10mm in profile! lol

You need to be carful when lowering your car to much leads to many other problems such as:
Bad camber as previously mentioned chews the sh!t out of tyres
alote of bump steer car does not steer like it should and will track to the crappy roads we have in NSW
Excessive shock through the suspension which punches up the strut towers and stuffs them up in front end
Cracks to rear cross member which holds diff very common with cars that are lowered to much.
And not to mention un roadworthy legal limit for a car in NSW is 100mm from the ground to the lowest point on your car wheather it be exhaust or anything else.
The cops get a piece of 4x2 timber and run it under your car if it hits anything DEFECT notice is placed on your car.
