What is needed to run E55 rotors on an E320?

Hey guys, one hole on my front rotor was stripped by a shop while swapping tires and I was wondering what would be needed to run E55/C43 rotors on our cars?

i dont think so ,not 100% sure tho. Is it just a case of liking the look of big discs or is it for performance? you could get some drilled and grooved discs that wpuld both look better and work better,without the added amg cost.

the stock calipers would not fit over e55 rotors because they are bigger.

Thanks guys. I'm actually more concerned now about the stripped bolt hole. The shop I went to did not torque my wheels properly, so my bolt hole and bolt were stripped. What's the best way to deal with this?

One hole for the lugs. Is it an easy fix or do I have to buy a new hub?

oh ok. I notice a little steering wheel vibration but its not too bad. I was thinking of taking a dremel into there and smoothing out the first thread or so, because that's where the problem area seems to be. the rest of the threads in the hole seem fine
