Hell, if you have them then just TRY. Then you can tell us if they fit or not!!

They will fit but you will have to put the left on the right and right on left for the calipers. Next the lugs holes will have to be inlarged from 12 1.5mm to 14 1.5mm and then you will have to shave down your front sway bar so the brakes won't rub when turning. The most important thing is make sure you have enough space with your wheels to clear those massive brakes, in height and offset. I tried but but my wheels wouldn't clear.

Thanks, its just not the size of the rim but the offset and even the way the spokes of the wheel lay. I have 19's with a low offset so on paper the SL,CL brakes should fit my car, but they don't. My spokes lay too flat with no curve, which causes them to hit the caliper. I can't add spacers because then I would be hitting the fenders.
The same will go for he back, swaping sides and enlarging the threads to 14mm. The rotors are no big deal because AMG rotors are the same. There are no left and right to deal with. If you walk up to a SL55 you will notice that the drilled rotors go in opposite directions. AMG only made one mold for the rotors (kind of cheap).
Good luck, Please send pics when you are done

I was told by a MB master mechanic that the dust cover would have to be cut or adjusted in some way. You should search for the member DanWang. He has a CLK55 208 that uses the same brakes and set up as 210's, and he put the Big AMG kit on his car front and back. He would have and the same problems you are running into.
