2020 C300 Amg package wheel change

Just got the beautiful C300 w amg 19in rims/package.
Love love the look. Hate the rough bumpy ride.
I guess it has a sport suspension and the larger wheels roughen the ride experience.
My wife wants a more comfortable ride and I am open to switching to smaller stock Mercedes wheels 17 or 18.
How would that work w the current suspension setup?. Can I make the switch purchasing some rim/tire setup. Or will that not work w the Amg package setup. Thank you.

Wrong section. You have a w205.
Anyway why not keep the 19" and change tires? I'm guessing you are on runflats which would even on 17" give you a hard ride.
About the wheel sizes, if it's oem 17" is the minimum for the amg package and if not oem I wouldn't go below 18". Nothing to-do with suspension but with clearance space of the brakes

Thank for the reply
So you feel if I keep the 19 inch stock wheels and change to a regular tire vs run flat, the ride quality will improve significanty?
Thank you

Yes the difference is huge. Runflat tires do look nicer

Thank you
One final question, do they make those small spare tires for this vehicle to store in the trunk in case of need? The brakes look large, so thinking those small spare tires wont work??
