Thanks to everyone for all of the help. I got my new wheels/tires this weekend. I asked a lot of questions and now people are asking me, so here are my pix and info:

255/50/R20 Toyo Proxes S/T
ARA AR1 20" No hub centric rings or adjustments are necessary on this wheel.

It rides and handles great. I am VERY happy!

Nice wheels, how much did they set you back? Where did you get them? On line? Any rubbing? Also Do you have tinted headlight covers? If so where did you get them?

No rubbing - the diameter is the same as the stock wheels since the tires are a lower profile. The stock tires are 65's and these are 50's. Tirerack.com (http://tirerack.com) is the only retailer who carries them, BUT, other places can get them for you. My local Discount Tire store (tires.com (http://tires.com)) got them at the same price and I didn't have to pay shipping. They will match ANY price. I paid $259 per wheel. The tires are 255/50/R20 Toyo Proxes S/T and I paid $157 each (which is an INCREDIBLE price).

I got the headlight tinting from Lamin-x.com (http://lamin-x.com), but I removed it yesterday. As cool as it looks, it made my headlights WAY too dim at night - and I tried it before and after I swapped out my bulbs with the Luminics Titanium White bulbs. (Luminics bulbs here. (http://www.xtremewhite.com/ORD-Light~bulbs-Luminics-Luminics-No-38057-1-1-1-1.cfm)) I really like the Luminics!

Discount Tire has a size calculator on their site. It says that 255/50-20 will register 66.10 MPH at a true 65 MPH. These 20's are only slightly larger than our stock 17's. Hope this helps.
