The front NA wheel will not clear the caliper with the 10mm hub centric spacer! When I torked the lugs the wheel just touches the caliper, it looks like it will need a 12mm to clear a stock NA wheel. So the SRT wheel provides more clearance than the NA. So anyone going to the CLK500 sport caliper with the 345mm disk will need wider hub centric spacer if you plan on going with a NA wheel. Remember the SRT wheel cleared with a 5mm spacer, if you can find a hub centric that thin, BUMMER!
up until last night the big brake setup was doing great, I was very happy with the braking action I had.
