No the diameter shouldn't change, but the rolling resistance might because of weight of new wheel/tire combo. Since the factory tire is 265/40/19 F, if you do a 20" the tire aspect ratio drops by 5% to compensate for the overall diameter. So a 20" would be 255/35/20 and 21" would be 255/30/21. All keeping the OD very close to OE size. I used to be in the wheel/tire industry long ago...
