Id put 20's on my Accord if it wouldn't look ABSOLUTLY TERRIBLE. A lot depends on the wheels you get as to how it will look. Post some pics of possible options. For the most part, 20's look best on luxury vehicles so the TSX may be a good canidate.

Let me guess, you have no plans to lower it either.

personally I wouldn't go larger than 18s on a tsx but thats just me. you do realize that the bigger you go, the rougher the ride will be.

Since most 20 inch passenger car wheels are quite heavy, I would strongly recommend that you do not install them on a finely balanced sedan like the TSX.

Given that you'll be running a very low-profile tire (225/30R20 or thereabouts), your ride quality will suffer greatly. The increased weight will make the car the slower and it will also lengthen stopping distances.

Instead, I would recommend finding a performance tire that fits your OEM 17" wheels. If you're tired of the stock wheel design, you could step up to 18" wheels for reasonable money while still preserving the overall balance of ride quality and peformance.. Just pay close attention to weight; lighter is better.
