Smaller wheels
I am very unhappy with my 2019 E53 AMG. Seattle doesn't repair their potholes and I have cracked and replaced two wheels. The OEM low profile R20"s have no forgiveness and I am either getting rid of the car or going to 18" wheels with taller sidewalls. However, I don't think there is such a wheel that would accommodate the AMG brakes, offset is the issue. The 19" wheel with a taller sidewall is so modest that I've read don't bother. Am I stuck?

18 inch may not clear the front brakes. You need a test fit before buying
the offset for your car is similar to E63 which are not easy to find. There are only a handful of them that may fit but with wheels being extended out.
