When increasing the diameter of the rims, you should use lower-profile tires to keep the outside diameter of the assembly as close as possible to the original diameter of the factory wheel-tire assembly.

I like this wannabe mechanics. It would cost you $300. Here is a site where you can buy some decent air shocks. And you can put them on your self. The only problem is where to drill the hole for your air valve, but that is a minor matter. The price is $78 for a pair, so that will give you an idea of what to look for. Now you will not need the real expensive ones cuz you will not be hauling no boat or trailer, unless you got some babes from the Swiss Bikini team on board. Then call me and I will personally help you put on the shocks for a free ride. lol
Get a Haynes Repair Manual at the local Auto Zone or auto parts store in your area. It will troubleshoot and show you how to fix your vehicle. Also on the Auto Zone site has a section for vehicle maintenance
This will help if you do not know nothing on cars.

I think the real question here is why in the world are you putting 20 inch wheels on a '91 Olds 98?

Get a set of airlift shocks; cheaper than airbags (should run around $350 - $500 installed). Next time, check the tire size before you decide to add "bling" to your car!

that depends on how severe the contact is.
you might be able to machine the wheel some to increase your offset. in most cases you need wheels with correct offset.
