Default Need help with piston sizing.. Tried searching.. no luck!

I have a stock b18b.. i am planning a rebuild so i figure im going to have it cleaned honed and possibly slightly bored out if needed.. Heres the question:
If i go say .20 over on a bore can I still run 81mm pistons and use oversized rings or do I need to find oversized pistons and rings? My dad says I need to get bigger pistons, for some reason I thought I could just get oversized rings.. Please help! TIA
