welcome to the forum, if you really want to go with the 20's make sure the offset is correct for your civic. ive seen on a 8th gen forum where alot of 19 and 20 inch wheels rub and rub bad

hey thanks for the input, i've talked to a couple people and shops, they said it should be ok and the offset that they gave me was +40mm i put the wheel on and it is level with my fender so im guessing it should be fine
