If what you want is to have more padding for the major tick labels, I
recommend you to use
rcParams['xtick.major.pad'] = 20
If you don't like to change the global setting, you may set the
ticklabel padding for an specific axis. Try
for tck in ax.xaxis.get_major_ticks():
tck.set_pad(20)
tck.label1 = tck._get_text1()
