For safety sake the golden rule is that when you increase stock wheel size by X2 you MUST increase your brake disk diameter - or you defy the vehicle's design thresholds and create an unsafe situation.

BTW - the 'swim' effect is also know sometimes as 'bumpsteer' and is common among lower profile tires - there is usually a steering brace that is needed to correct this and at highway speeds this characteristic can be dangerous. I would consult the AMG house or see if there is an additional brace available from a dealer.
You are serious? I thought I simply put wheels on and thats all........

Anyone whom got 20s did anything from listed above???
