Im running the CLK430 17's (track rims) and have the c32/c55/clk550 (all use the same caliper) calipers and rotors. Mine are specifically from a c55. with that said I only have a few mm of clearance on the spokes. I am running a square setup with 8 1/2 all around.

The W209 calipers and rotors are more forgiving in price and apply to upgrade brembos.
W208 rotors and calipers are priced out of existence.I just forked over $500 for oem stugart Zimmerman rotors.
The W209 were a bit larger in diameter and the calipers should clear. only pending thought is you are a non AMG and the Caliper brackets/spindle might be totally different.
I would investigate part numbers for the 430 vs 55 as to compatibility.

Bringing it back from the dead because I just want to pull the trigger and finally get this done.
The calipers I have on hand are 207047048 which I 'think' are to a 2004 CL500. I checked the fitment on the calipers and they are fine but will need spacers I believe. Will stock CL500 rotors work in this case?
