If your are looking for rotors, here is some size recommended by Brembo when I was looking for rotors.

1G1.9029A GL450, GL550 Front 2006 > 8P 380x34 2-Piece
2P1.9008A GL450, GL550 Rear 2006 > 4P 380x28 2-Piece

Thumbs up E55/SL55 Brakes?

A brake is a device which inhibits motion. Its opposite component is a clutch. The rest of this article is dedicated to various types of vehicular brakes.
Most commonly brakes use friction to convert kinetic energy into heat, though other methods of energy conversion may be employed. For example regenerative braking converts much of the energy to electrical energy, which may be stored for later use. Other methods convert kinetic energy into potential energy in such stored forms as pressurized air or pressurized oil.

The answer is they need new hats, adapters and lines. Calipers/pads/frictionrings are the same. You are looking at ~700USD an axle to covert from one to the other.
