20"s will work fine. just get a 20x7.5 and some 225/35 tires. new brakes will not be needed. speedo recalibration would help. but it will only be a 1mph difference really

you can adjust for tire size in hp tuners going by the overall height of the wheel/tire

you do NOT need to change your brakes, unless, of course, you feel the need to upgrade...
