The tires and rims must both be 20" of course (diameter of wheel must equal diameter of tire's opening), but other than that it's a matter of whether the widths of the rims are compatible. As long as you don't get rims that are a lot wider/more narrow than what you have now the tires should fit fine.

There are general guidelines (which I can't quite remember) about how wide a tire you should put on how wide a rim. The salesman oughta know this stuff, but watch that he doesn't try to sell you a bad combo just to make a sale. The people at the TireRack are great when it comes to this stuff, even if they *do* tend to err on the side of caution.

Search for "wheel and tire" packages instead of just "wheels", and then see if the recommended tire is the same as what you have now.
