ML550 AMG front brakes on standard ML350
I am in the process of replacing the original 2015 ML350 front brake system (calipers, pads, rotors) with the larger ones off a ML550 *AMG set up, drilled rotors etc. . It has become more of an issue than I thought. Looks like I will have to put spacers on the front so my 19 inch wheels with fit. Yuk. My ML350 has GL450 19 inch wheels , which are 1/2 inch wider than the standard ML350 19 inch wheel and 62 offset. I was hoping I would not need spacers, but won't know until I install the ML550 setup
Will there be an issue with ML550 big brakes (drilled) on the front and standard ML350 brakes on the back as far as the car braking system handling ie anti skid, etc of the different not match system.
I do not plan on putting ML550 brakes on the rear.
I beginning to feel I just should have put ML350 drilled rotors vs this conversion. All I really wanted was the drilled rotor look.
Any comments are appreciated to include I'm a Dumb _ _ _ _ for trying this.
