GL550 Brakes/rotors/calipers on GL450 with 18" tires
Once i upgrade the brakes to GL550 Brakes/rotors/calipers will my 18" wheels fit without scraping inside?
Or in other words anyone tried fitting GL450 18" wheels on 550.

Is there a difference in the braking systems (i.e. rotor sizes, calipers, etc.) between the GL's? I would not think so but don't have access to the part numbers to look that up......

I ran a set of 18 inch wheels for a week while my wheels were being chromed and they cleared the brake calipers but if you are going to a big brake upgrade like Brembo you will need larger wheels.
