Hi, I have this SSR Professor sp1 19x8.5 with +55 offset.

I want to change it to a 20" rims, but how do I know the best width and the best offset for my car, can I get a 4-6 inches in my wheel's dish?

I'd keep that SSR personally, I'm on 19's too. Lowered about 2" 20's are a bit excessive and quite a bit more uncomfortable. When you have a 30lbs wheel on 25-30lbs tires on a suspension made to wear around 40lbs at the corner your car will tell you.

You can't get any wider without issues unless you ruin the camber. So look for the same offset.
