I think if you ground this off, it'd clear.

With that, I think once up, you'd hit the bracket that holds the e-brake cable. I didn't remove my e-brake, just tied them up, I'm almost certain the bracket will need to be cut off.

I'll probably wait till Spring or a warm day to get it up on the lift and check things out further but out of the box with Baer brakes, they DO NOT fit.

[MENTION=17332]isedawishy[/MENTION] do you have any sway in the rear from running such a wide wheel in the front?
I have really bad sway on my 275/40/18 street comp front & 285/40/18 MT S/S rear

I've heard the only way to get rid of it is running a skinny up front.

I have OEM sways still. No rubbing problems or anything

From the research I've done any of the brakes that allow the 15's you have to grind down that bolt. Thanks for your help, I think I'm gonna roll with it & do 15's. I just wanted to make sure they cleared the brakes.

No I mean do have any death sway where it feels like the rear of the car is moving left & right pretty good.
I've read it's caused from running a hard tire in the front with a stiff side wall then putting a soft side wall in the rear like a drag radial.

That's is awesome buddy, thanks for chiming in! It seems the guy above bought them, sold them & never mounted them. You will be the first s550 car that I know of with them or I've been able to find so far. I'm assuming that you went with the 17's? Do you know if the 15 inch would work on s550 with the Baer brakes, or is 15's over kill?

No prob brotha! Yea I just found that pic from a google search so I’m not sure. I went with 17x10.5” for the rear and I’m going to do a 17x5” up front. 15” should work fine for the rear with a small brake conversion, but is really not necessary, even with 1000+whp big boy power.

Hey man the sway u are referring too comes from running slicks with a radial up front.If u run a drag radial on the rear u will be ok,if u want to run a slick out back u need to run skinny up front or u will have sway.Alot also depends on how low air pressure you run on the slicks.

I'm running a drag radial on the rear now MT SS 285/40/18 with MT Street Comps 275/40/18 on the front & the sway is bad enough to make you butt pucker up at over 120mph+

Yeah I was trying to save that extra 4lbs on each side, that's about 80lbs when you consider it's rolling weight plus there cheaper & so are the tires. But damn the 17's do look just as good if not better!

What are people paying for these? Was just looking at them two days ago.

I paid $327ish/ea on American Muscle for the 17x10.5” using the 6% discount code I posed in their section.
