Replacing 20 inch amg rims to standard ones

I've been wanting to replace my low profile 20 inch amg rims with 17 or 18 inch ones for the sake of avoiding pothole rim and tire damage.

I have a 2011 s350 with the amg sports package and would like to know what mercedes rims can be fitted to my car.

Can anyone guide me please?

Thanks!

I don't think you can fit 17" rims onto the W221. 18's are the minimum. If your rims are in decent shape, I'd consider a swap for my 18" S600 wheels. They are chromed and in near perfect condition.

Do you have the staggered wheels?

A swap would be impossible since I live in Lebanon.

How can I see what rims fit my car?

All W221 wheels are interchangeable. The only time you might have a problem is going with staggered wheels on a 4matic car.
