Yes, but you'll have to go with extremely thin tires (compared to 20's on other cars), and it'll probably be 20x8 or 20x8.5 at most. Fenders will have to be rolled or cut as well. You sure you want to do 20's? 19's would be much more manageable.

Isn't 20 a little more dangerous because they have more tendency to break? 18" tend to crack or break more than 17" and below right?

It depends a lot more on the tire, your driving style, and road conditions. Tires like the Yokohama AVS Sport have a steel lined sidewall, which in turn helps against wheel damage. Of course, there is more road noise but that's a tradeoff every owner has to consider. If you drive carefully, you will be surprised how long larger wheels can last you.

ps 20's have been installed on Camrys...so they can be done. Now if you asked me if any of them looked good? That's an emphatic NO.
