Impact of mods on Distronic Plus/Pre-Safe Brake

Are there any implications I should be considering or be aware of if I want to modify my 2011 C250 CDI which has distronic plus (radar cruise control) and pre-safe brake (pre-emptive braking if impending collision detected)?

I want to change rims but am aware this could muck up some of the systems. Assuming if I just change rims/tyres so that rolling diameter remains spot on, I should be fine?

Should be fine. Car won't know the difference in that case. Enjoy.

Changing the wheel size will affect the speedometer ever so slightly. You will be going faster than what the speedo says.

But in general you will be ok, because with bigger wheels you will have thinner profile tires.
