Default 20'' Wheels ??????

I'm thinking about taking the 18's and 17's off my 2004 corvette and replacing them with 20's and 19's Has anyone else done this. Is there any problems putting the bigger wheels and tires on the corvette????

19's and 20's look sick but the tire selection goes down and the prices go up..
