Will W218/W212 (CLS550/E550) Calipers fit on a W204?

New update, the rotors you will need to work with these calipers are the 360 x 36mm Rotors off the C63. I bought the Brembo rotors off rockauto (it was cheaper than the Zimmerman from FCP Euro). Also, make sure you don't make my mistake and ordered brake pads for the C63 (I am so dumb), you need brake pads for the CLS550/E550 calipers. The C63 brake pads don't fit at all.

Yes, those spacers are on there because my wheels didn't clear the calipers. In your case, it's going to really depend on the type of wheel design you have, because some of the OEM wheels will clear it, but some won't. You will need to look at the concavity of your wheel design and see if it's BBK friendly.

2011Pre-facelift W212 E550 4matic with M273 front brake R/C/P bolted right up to my W204 2009 C300 4Matic. And W204 Pre-facelift C63 R/C/P bolted right up to the rear hub no problem as well.
However, the front calipers did require a little shave program, because they rubbed on the wheel ever so slightly, which is almost not noticeable from the outside with the wheel on.
I believe the front rotors are 340mm and the rears are 320mm. I have no issues running road courses or stopping from 160 to a standstill: regular MB dot 4 brake fluid, no special sauce.
Running factory twin 7 spoke 17 inch wheels, except the I installed an additional set of rear wheels on the front, with a 3mm spacer. 245/40/17 on all four corners wearing perfectly evenly, and easily rotatable as well.
