Yup, Another rim and tire thread. You should search the forum for tire size and offsets. There is a lot already posted.
In considering rim size, you need to consider that all of the S-types are designed to have roughly a 25.7" tire diameter. As you increase rim size, the profile of the tire has to decrease in order to match the tire size. On 20" rims, you will have to run, at most, a 30 profile tire. but more likely have to go with 25 profile.
Remember that the lower the tire sidewall profile the stiffer the tire and roadfeel feedback, plus you have to be more and more careful that you don't hit pot holes or curbs because it becomes really easy to damage the rim.
From my perspective, going with 20 inch rims is too big. To me, 19" fits the car better looks wise. (Other forum member who run 20's can chime in.) Regarding how the car handles, you do need to match the rims, tire size and width to what works best with the car's suspension, otherwise handling can suffer.
