20 mm might be too much, IMO.
At the most 10 mm would be good.

just cuz you found a deal on ebay don't mean you gotta hop on it man. if you about to get 20mm you better get yourself some goodass spacers so you don't mess up your ride.

i think it'd just look goofy but thats just me.

Exactly.
Majority of the times Ebay stuff has horrible parts.
Just save up and spend alittle more money for a really good quality part.

Because 18x8 +20 is too wide.

The lower the offset the wider out of the fender it'll be.

Yours is considered 18x8 +40. Then you add a 20mm spacer, your specs are 18x8 +20. So yes it will look goofy.
