HELP: Braking Issues
So I changed my wheels yesterday to some Mercedes sports wheels (17") and after I started driving I started hearing the brakes 'grind' while braking. When I had my old 16" wheels I didn't hear the sound, so I'm curious did anyone experience this or have any idea what's going on?

Also, do you guy know where I can get an AMG Brake Kit? Or at least have the part number for the 2007 C-Class brakes (with the 'Mercedes Benz' wording on the brake)?


Thanks.

Definitely check the lugs. If the wheel thickness if less, you can do some real damage to the rear brakes (if the wheel bolts are too long).

Evosport sells the C32/C55 AMG brake kit.

Also, the 2005-2007 brakes are the same

if you put on the factory 17 inch wheels switching over from the 16 inch factory wheels the lugnuts should be the same. the bolts should be the right size.

white_w203 - Yeah, exactly, I took off the factory 16" wheels to put factory 17" wheels (both Mercedes OEM), therefore, I'm surprised I would need to do anything to the car-?

And I used the bolts from my 16" wheels for the 17" wheels, Mercedes said they bolts are the same, or did the guy lie to me?

Actually, even though they are staggered, all the bolts are still the same length. I had all 20 bolts off once, and they were all the same.
