Down sizing wheel for 2011 R350

I want to put downsized winter tires on my 2011 R350 and am confused about appropriate sizing. I've been told that the 2011 R350 requires a bigger wheel than older R350s to accommodate its larger brakes. However, older models all specify 13 inch disc brakes. Can I use a 17 or 18 inch wheel on the 2011? If so what should the wheel width and offset be?

I did the same thing with my Porsche cayenne. very happy I did, mostly because I got them for a steal.
