Tire pressure sensor usability will depend on the wheel primarily. They stay pretty close to the wheel so the height of the tire should still be alright.

Just be aware if you get a flat you run a high chance of destroying the sensor.

I have mine in non-runflats so I can get an early warning and figure if I wreck one I wreck one.

I don't think I've ever seen 20" runflats. You can get 19's but typically intended for the rear and so are fairly wide.

I have 19/20's and I also use the tire pressure sensors.
I am almost positive (99.99%) they DO NOT make run flats in those size tires.

If you are looking at a supercharged car, run flats are probably not your best option anyway. On a 20" rim you will never hook up, let alone with run flat!
