We haven't test fit a 20" tire on your car because running a 20" wheel on this car would require a tire that's too small to carry the load of the vehicle.
The largest tire we've test fit on the vehicle is a 235/55-16 which is 26.2" tall, so a 255/35-20 with an overall height of 27" would probably rub or hit the top of the wheel well unless modifications such as fender lip rolling, wheel well trimming, alignment changes etc are done.
If found some other Park Avenues on the web, some of which are running 20's so I would recommend checking with these owners to see what modifications would be necessary.

Great thanks for the help man.....ill probably just throw 18's on it if its too much trouble to put 20s on....the 18's come with Low Profile 225/40/18 or 235/40/18 or 215/35/18...those will be fine right?
edit..well forget that the only FWD Player Wire Rims are 20".....would getting raising springs put on fix the problem?
