No, 355 kit is for 18" wheels and is just too big in diameter for a 17" wheel. The 5570 (330mm) caliper is supposed to be a better caliper than the cheaper 7040 (355/362mm) one. If you're running 550bhp then good ventilation and/or ducting air to your brakes needs to be a priority.

You'll need different brackets to move the caliper nearer the hub. Hopefully the bracket from the 330 kit will fit your caliper
