20s on a tib is not smart. you're increasing the unsprung weight and you will destroy your suspension if you still use it as an everyday runner. and as for the weight increase, is makes a huge difference if the tires are even only a few pounds heavier. for every pound you remove from unsprung rolling mass, like rolling wheels, it is the equivilant to removing 20 pounds from the sprung mass, or the rest of the car. your drive train will stress and crack and break with the added inches and weight if you drive your car hard. it doesn't all go bad right away, but it will alot faster than stock.
for suspension, look into skunk2's sport street coilovers or tein's comfort sport line. DO NOT USE STRUT BARS AS THEY WILL CAUSE TOWER DAMAGE IF THE WHEEL SMASHES INTO THE TOWER OR WALL. your car will not be able to flex and something WILL break. stay away from race, track, or pro suspension systems. they will not give you the durability you will need. upgrading your springs will not be enough.
good luck and be sure to post pix afterwards.
