What would happen if,,,
Hi, I have 20" wheels with 10deg rear wheel steering (RWS). What would happen if I changed to 21"? Would the car somehow sense this and restrict RWS to 4.5? Would it allow but wheels/tires would interfere with wheel well?

No, the car would not know it has bigger wheels. Would you be going for wider tyres then? Bigger wheels should not be a problem unless they are wider, along with tyres as I guess they would. You could activate snow chain mode to restrict the steering angle.

Yeah, I'm not into the look anyways but were I, I still wouldn't give up my ten degrees. I had 4 in the last car and that was nice, 10 is a revelation. I still can't believe the spots I can easily horse the car into; I'm sure I still haven't figured out exactly how small a spot I can get into when parallel parking.

As others have said you would have the 4.5; I came from another brand/car. The hardware is identical but the AMG cars are limited due to the wheels dimensions. Or at least this is said; I've seen no real world proof.
In any event one poster here switched from the 21 inch AMG wheels and was able to enable 10 degree steering so this can be done with the correct wheels and then getting the car coded. That occurred overseas; to my knowledge no one in my part of the world has been able to code their car yet.
