Do I need to tell dealer if change a bigger wheels?

I think everyone agree Mercedes is the most advance vehicle in the market.
I have been told how does ESP works, corner brake, ABS....
They all work with a computer which built in our car base on factory setting or original tyre size.
So i want to ask, if I change a wheel from 17 to 20; 235 to 275; lower the car, will everything work correctly?

I know I am a bit but just asking....

Read this thread from the w203 forum - https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w203/151903-question-those-you-upgraded-wheels.html
Drex said all you need to know regarding changing tire size. You will have to read this and other forums to find out whether you will have any rubbing. Whether everything would work correctly, there is pontential for your blinker fluid to spill if you go round a curve. In other words, YMMV.
