Is your car red devil? Are you running that large a diameter brake rotor?

no and yes.
does your car have a full interior? are you running glass windows? did you shave the extra off each bolt? what about a radio?
before you answer, we are on the same page. unsprung weight is a killer and thats before we get into the physics of inertia involved in larger wheel/tire combos, but we all make sacrifices somewhere on our cars. but if you really cared about the almost negligible difference between 18/19/20's, i would expect whoever to lose the interior and drop 20lbs themselves.
its actually not here. its more than just the weight difference. if it were a solid object it would be easy.

I have an a body. The wheel wells are not huge.

the whole friggin car is HUGE. these things eat the wheels and tires. most camaros with 18's look like they have a large wheel because with the appropriate tire they fill the wheel well. imho, a 26.5" tall tire does not appear to fill the well on the back of an a-body. i went with a 28.5" tall tire to mimic the height of the 275/60/15s i used to run. i ran a 295/50/15 for the last few years the car was driving and always thought it was too short. a 28.5" tall tire on 18s just has too much sidewall.
