Not the size of the rim that counts but how tall the tire is.
26.3 inches is about the tallest that will fit. Any taller and they would hit/rub the lower strut perch.
Fwiw. Running 20 inch rims would require a very short sidewall tire. That would give you a very rough ride. If it's a daily driver car, 20's wouldn't be a good choice.

The absolute physical limiting factor is interference with the lower spring perch on the front struts.
There are also safety concerns using any size other than came from the factory.
If somebody said they are running them on their car, I would tend to believe it, but I also believe the moon is made of bleu cheese.
