The only rubbing I get now is when I go over large dips and the suspension fully compresses. I guess that would not be a problem for you, having coilovers and all.

Do you mean the rubbing where the tire's tread actually touches the fender lining? If that's what you're talking about, that happens with all 20's (due to the overall increase in diameter). But it's minimal and it'll eventually stop w/o rubbing through the liner.
If you're talking about when you have the steering turned all the way in one direction and you hit a bump and you rub, that too is normal. That can happen with many different size setups...
Even with my coilovers, I can get full compression if I hit a dip fast enough (or a bump)...I don't have super stiff coilovers (which would be less prone to full compression)...actually, most people are quite impressed with the ride (they expected it to ride much worse usually)...
Today, I took a Lexus sales rep for a drive...he JUST got finished rolling around in a full L-tuned GS (with the L-tuned 18" wheels) and he said the ride in my car wasn't much worse that the full L-Tuned setup....and that's with 20's and coilovers...
I think I found my next set of coilovers...it's going to have a fancy little add-on that I would not normally get but I'm getting it in a killer package deal...
