2005+ Chrysler 300/300C 355mm Front Big Brake Upgrade ST-40 Caliper-40 Installation
Most 17” wheels will clear the outer diameter of the caliper for a 328mm or 332mm rotor kit. For a 355mm kit, a minimum 18” wheel is typically required, and for a 380mm rotor kit, a minimum 19” wheel is needed. The more critical clearance, however, is the gap between the spokes of the wheel and the face of the caliper. Do not assume that a larger-diameter wheel will automatically clear the face of the caliper.
It is very important that you verify the accuracy of the scale of the printout by matching both a width and length dimension on your vehicle. Dimensions are shown in millimeters, but one dimension in each direction is also shown in inches, and StopTech recommends adding at least 2mm of additional clearance to these dimensions. Follow the instructions carefully, to produce a fitment template, and take care to ensure that your measurements are very precise.
Wheel Spacers
Wheel spacers can provide extra clearance to the outer face of the caliper. This will also space out the entire wheel, widening the track width of the vehicle. Fender clearances should be checked on lowered cars, and longer lug studs or wheel bolts are usually required.
2007 Volvo XC60 Sleek Concept Breaks Cover

2000+ BMW E39 M5 and 5-Series 355mm Rear Big Brake Upgrade ST-40 Caliper Installation
The most common cause of brake vibration is improper bed-in of pads and rotors, or improper pad selection for the specific driving environment. Rotor run-out may also cause vibration, but precision manufacturing and inspection typically mean that run-out is not an issue. Modern production methods ensure that the rotor run-out is within +/- 0.002” when installed on a StopTech aluminum hat, and it controls thickness variation to within 0.0003”. Under the most extreme conditions, any rotor may warp, but uneven pad deposition is a more typical cause of vibration. If the system is not properly bedded-in, or if street pads are run on an open track, uneven pad deposits will occur, causing an ever-worsening vibration. Failure to immediately address a pad deposition/vibration issue may lead to permanent damage of the rotors. Please read and understand the bed-in procedure included in this manual.
