A full intake won't do much good unless you have a tune and exhaust also. If you're just getting a drop in filter, blow it out first to get rid of any excess oil.
What size tires are you going to run on your 20s? If it's less than 35s just level it, otherwise lift it!

I have an S&B CAI, and I'm very pleased with it... not to mention, they look really good. There's a pic of mine in my profile and garage I believe

I have a K&N on mine, the oil won't hurt it. The people that complain about the oil issue are the ones that over oil their filter. If you don't over oil it then you will be fine. I would suggest the gotts mod though, do a quick search and you should be able to find out how to do it and it will save you money.

I run a K&N Drop-in + the 3" PVC DWV Intake Mod; Don't worry about the oil, IMO. Cleaning the MAF sensor every 5k mi should be a standard practice anyways.
What I do is a week or two after adding my K&N (or reoiling) just clean the MAF sensor.
If you haven't cleaned the MAF you'll probably get more HP / MPG from that than the filter change anyways!
