The SRT-6 uses the same exact floating caliper and 330mm rotor as the SLK32 AMG which came with 17" wheels all-around from the factory.

In fact, I'm positive that you can fit 17" wheels on the front, as long as it's a Mercedes-spec wheel with proper offsets. Hell for that matter, the C32 AMG has 17" wheels if I'm not mistaken, and it has huge brakes.
All I know in that case is that certian aftermarket wheels, Voxx, might not fit over the front, we tried and it did not clear the brakes. So maybe the OP should try and few sets before deciding and possibly save himself some money
