Urgent! Need sl600/AMG caliper dimensions please!

Hi Guys, getting ready to pull the trigger on a set of work durandal dd5.2 wheels for my BS widebody setup, and need dimensions of the caliper. I was told a 20" with the step lip might not fit the caliper, and would require measurments. I do not have access to the car currently, and am in urgent need of these dimensions. Willing to paypal a fee for anybody that can help me!


I would just need the measurements from the diagram below:

A-distance of rotor hub to end of caliper
D- Distance from middle of wheel hub to top of caliper

and if applicable, any clearance issues any of you guys might have encountered. Thank you guys, this is urgent!

this is not the answer to your question but as long as the diameter of the stepped portion is more that 18" you will clear the calipers. You will also have a real low off set wheel so clearance with the calipers will not be an issue.

yea the offsets i am looking at are 20x0 -9 front and 20x11.5 -37. very very aggressive, so im not very concerned about caliper width, as i am about total circumference needed for caliper clearance.

Thank you shardal!

Any more input, please advise!!!

I made a template from my SL65 calipers. The 600 should have smaller diameter rotors, and you should be able to adjust the template. I THINK I posted it to one of my threads, you'll have to search through my postings. If you can't find it then I'll have to get it to you in a couple of weeks when I'm back on my laptop
