You will just need the proper back spacing when you buy your wheels. I think 4.5 or less back spacing should be fine. And you will lose acceleration depending on what your stock gears are now. I would re gear to 4.56 or 4.88 gears witch will cost you another $1500 dollars or so depending on who does the install.. Some people drive with stock gears for a while and don't mind it but that's your call.

Why do you want 20's? 17 and 18 wheels are a lot cheaper and look better

I agree 20s are the worst thing you can do to a jeep in less you have 40s or above

Don't listen to the naysayers. I have a 2010 with 17s and a 2012 with 20s. Get the 20s. I have a 2.5 TF lift with 5" back spacing and a 35x12.5x20 works fine. They perform just as well as 17s as long you don't do crazy offroad rock crawling. You'll be fine in the basic mud, trails, sand, etc.
