Looks OK to me, but those wouldn't be my choice for wheels. Needs a slight drop in front to balance out the height.

As with most wheel upgrades to a bigger size the thinner tyre wall usually creates the illusion of a lifted suspension despite the distance being exactly the same. A drop normally cures the overall appearance but in my opinion that would be defeating the object with an SUV pending on how much.

This is what happens when you get bad advice on your setup. It appears this guy just wanted low profiles on his new rims regardless of overall diameter WRONG WRONG WRONG!
This isn't a photoshop, the guy was really upset. http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w163-m-class/1215938-20-rims-2.html

Just doesn't look quite right. I think it's more these wheels than being 20", as I've seen other 20's that look good on the Outlander.
It's the overall diameter which is the visual problem, to keep the speedo in check it has to be maintained the same as stock, that's why I was reluctant to go bigger than 19's (the bigger the wheel the thinner the tyre). There's no doubt in my mind the 20's you've seen are on the concept outis below with the bigger tyre walls, they can do what they want with the tyres on a show car but if they drove it the gearing and speedo would be all over the place not to mention MPG.
You're right zontarh, those are the Outlander photos I was thinking about.
