Default Wheels/Tires

Is there any problem going from an 18x8.5-8 tire to a 20x8.00-8 tire?
If I understand it, it will be 2" taller and 1/2" narrowly.

The slight decrease in width probably won't be noticeable. The 2" increase in height will decrease the torque where rubber meets road by 10% while trying to increasing top speed by 11%. (Won't realize theoretical speed increase due to accompanying torque loss)

No lift is typically needed for 20" tall tires.

Would there be any rubbing anywhere?

2" larger tire will only get 1" lift. One inch of the larger tire diameter is on the ground, the other is in the wheel well.
