Hi TND
What you could do is create a circle (google.maps.Circrle) with a radius of
20,25,50 miles with a transparent fill and stroke (unless you want them to
see the circle) then tell the map to .fitBounds to the circle's .getBounds
method like so:

var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(35.265,-80.326);
var circleOptions = {
    center: myLatLng,
    fillOpacity: 0,
    strokeOpacity:0,
    map: myMapObject,
    radius: 32186 /* 20 miles */
}
var myCircle = new google.maps.Circle(circleOptions);
myMap.fitBounds(myCircle.getBounds());

I'm not sure that this code works as I just jotted it down but something
like that should work. Maybe that will point you in the right direction.
