yap with the C32 brakes i had a lot of room. with the 18" rim, if u have C32 brakes with a 17" rim then its a tight fit too. but with a 18" and the new brakes will be a tight fit again. i like that look better, because then u cant see through the wheel and the brakes fill up the wheel really well.
i think they are 16" front and 14" rear, but i will measure them when i get home from work.
ya agreed, my first look was just as surprising, when i pulled them out of the box i was like wow. this is crazy big. i will post better pic today. with measurements and everything.

That was a real real nice presentation. DON"T WAIT, put them on now, can't wait to see them on your car.
Just one thing, do the front brakes clear your 18" Twin Spoke AMG wheel for sure. I read that it only has half a credit card thickness clearance.

u heard right they are going to be a tight fit, but will work without any problems, the new brakes will clear the 18" twin spoke wheels without a problem. it will fill up the wheel competely i will not be able to put my finger between the rotor and the wheel.

nice meeting you on Saturday, Harry. you're lucky to have a wrench who
is very knowledgeable with cars as he does. he actually seemed to be just
as excited seeing the parts come in and eager to work on the install. (what's
his name again?.....I forgot).

Thanks you very much for the photos !!!!!
Can you please measure the actual minimum separation that you have between the c32 calipers and the spokes and after the same but with the SLK 55 030 calipers?
Also overall diameter of the SLK 55 030 front brakes with calipers will be great.
Best Regards and Thanks.

heavy suckers...Brembo 355mm 2 piece rotor are about 6-7kg each (14-15lbs) and the calipers are around 10lbs, so after seeing the weight...now IMO the 355mm Brembo GT is worth it.
anyway, I'm putting on the rear AMG 4-pot soon. can't resist the price.
