I say go for the 20 inch tire. If it does hinder your performance the you can drop a tooth on the front sprocket.

One thing you have to watch is the wieght of the tires.Some of the adult sized quad tires are very heavy compared to the stock mini tires(hurting performance).Also watch that the chain doesn't come into contact with the swingarm when going smaller on the front sprocket,might be better to go bigger on the rear.
