Welcome from an other forum newb.
You only have 1 transmission, I am curious about this "rim theory." What kind of damage is "everyone" telling you this will cause.
As long as they are the same size I can't imagine how it would be a problem, but nothing surprises me anymore.

I'm not too sure what a '97 has in it for a trans but the speedo, odo & shift points will be messed up if it has a 4L60E trans. That will effect the engine as well with the ECU/BCU of the vehicle (in my case anyway). The E at the end of a 4L60E stands for Electronic as far as i know (oops sorry pettyfog) AFAIK ;-) & that means things will get fubared as for ECU or BCU readings & that effects all the other things down the line. Like an AIT being disconnected & how that effects an engine, or MAF etc. They all mess up other parameters down the line when 1 isn't right.
Taller tires will mess up the speedo, trans & odometer unless they have a gear replaced on that type of trans or have the ECU recalibrated for the taller tires.

It has already been said a couple times, it wont cause any REAL problems, The only thing that will be a "problem" is your speed will be off, your odo will be off, and possibly your shift points too. But honestly, Measure the height of the rim and tire on your 20's, and the rim and tire on your stock 15's and see how much of a difference there is. It really cant be that much
