There's one guy who put 20's on his non-AMG C, so I know it's possible. From what I heard, there was some major work done to make them fit. I guess it all depends on your reasons for wanting to do it. If it's just to say you've got "dubs" that's one thing (and pretty shallow reasoning), but if you'd rather avoid problems you should just stick with 19's.

not losing some performance....he's gonna lose a lot of performance. Hell, ppl running 19s are losing performance already. He's doing it for the look, but the 225/30 tires will look stupid from the rear.

I'd stick with 19s w/ a drop. Those will look like 20s and ride wayyy better. 225/30/RUBBERBAND??! 19s you can get a much beefier 235/35, or 18s you could get a 245/40 or something like that. The way I see it 20s are suitable for bigger cars like the S/SL/CL/E.
