I would be very surprised if the 500 and 55 or 63 used different front spindles/hubs... so in that sense yes you could order the larger front calipers and rotors (and any assocciated mounting hardware).

But be sure to check out total piston area and such to be sure it doesn't require a special master cylinder, proportioning valve, etc.

You can check with some of the P-car shops but I tend to think the dealer is the only place to go for that.

But why be that difficult? Nobody ever said you can't use Alcon, AP, Brembo, Baer, or StopTech calipers on there. Just takes a little calculating of piston area and you can probably find a nice 6 piston monobloc that will work great. Would need to check on mounting hardware, but there is probably a good chance the stock 55/63 radial caliper mount will match up to some of the aftermarket stuff. Get the right size rotor and you're there.

I would send an email to stoptech and brembo first, they very well may be looking to offer such a kit and would do the R&D for you.
