Default Any one fitted 20 's onto a Mk3 Mondeo

As title, i have access to a set of 20" alloys. They are the front alloys off of the facelift Jag XF 8.5 x 20 with ET49 offset. I was going to use 4 fronts as the rears are 9.5" so too wide.
I was going to run 255 35 20 tyres. At the moment i have had a damaged tyre fitted to a rim for trial but it's not stopped fooking raining for weeks for me to fit it onto the front and the rear to have a good look around to see if it's going to be any good, AND to see if it looks ok, and not too big.

Anyone got any pics of bigger wheels than 18's on MK3's?

20's have been done but mainly for shows as they switch back to 19's / 18's for everyday use. I'm not sure what width they are running as 255 tyres sound wide for lowered mondeo on 20's. I run 19's on my MK2 and they are 215, 225 required arch work.

Cheers for the replys chaps,
Think i'll stick to my 18's then and just get them re furb'd. I was a bit worried about handling etc, As standard it ride's real nice.
