@WaveyKat,

What size are your wheels? I was told to change the wheels to 19" so they would clear the AMG BBK.. but I'm hoping 18" would be sufficient..

all my wheels are 18"!.. and 18" are the smallest that will fit on the CLK63 BBK ..its all according to the offset and width of the wheel...

There are at LEAST 2 different sizes of the 4-piston brembo brakes. One takes a 330mm front rotor and another takes a 345mm front rotor. Also, the C32/C55 front calipers, although the same size as the C350 calipers, will have a different part number because they have a different, silver finish and are labeled AMG instead of Mercedes-Benz.

mate, could you please let me know the full size & offset of your wheels (front & rear) . I have 18" now with 35 offset, and CLK63 BBK front which is waiting to be mounted but I'm holding it till I get the rear calipers. I'm also thinking 'bout changing my wheels but I guess if 18" will clear the BBK, I'll just keep my wheels for now then.

don't forget, even if the offset and wheels size are correct, there's still a chance the spokes won't clear the bbk.

Can anyone verify the size difference on these rotors?
