wheels and rims

I want to replace my amg rims and low profile tires with smaller rims and higher profile tires. I have air suspension, my dealer says that it would be unwise to do this, however I have researched online and there are rims and tires out there.... any advice. Tired of getting rim rash, and picking up nails in my racing slicks.

Good idea; I think fat, low profile tyres ruin the S class.

16 inch w220 wheels with 225 60 16 tires provide a comfortable ride and no curb rash because the tires protect the rim
