Well, the gearing won't be taller. That's why the tire sidewall is soo small, to accommodate for the extra rim size.

The only thing 20" rims will have are all disadvantages.
-Heavy rims=slower acceleration
-super low profile tires=expensive to replace
-Very small sidewall=very bumpy/horriable ride
-heavier rotating mass=harder to stop
-More rim, less sidewall=more pinch flats
-More rim, less tires=pothole dings
-Rims that cost more then car=Priceless!
