How much space do you have between the spokes of the stock wheel and you caliper now? I don't have stock wheels to measure from. Does the space increase as you move out from the center of the wheel? How much space do you have at about 6.5 inches from the center of the wheel? These same calipers are on just about all new C class mercedes. The only differnce is the length of the mounting lugs to fit various size rotors.
