I was only able to find a vendor on ebay that had what I needed.
Needed a 14x1.5 30mm ball seat set. Wow, were they hard to find... (My new wheels are 18x8.5 rather than 18x8)

No spacers here lol. The wheel I bought is about .5 inches wider than a stock wheel. So my stock bolts only got about 5 turns in. Apparently, this is kind of unsafe lol. I was told to get the extra 3mm length in order to get the needed 7 turns for a secure fit.

Oh **** i called a avant garde dealer(sponsor on this forum) asked what size lug bolts i needed. He said 25-28mm and the wheel is bigger then stock. So i ordered 28mm

If it's a bigger diameter then your good to go, but if the Width doesn't add up then you might have to get a different set. Though, my car is the luxury edition and comes with a different wheel set than the sport models. You might still be good with the 28mm.

Hmmmm now idk what to get... I have 2013 C250 sport. Went with 8.5" wide in the front and 9.5" wide in the rear. But also with lower offsets then factory and 3 piece rims.. So will I need longer then 27mm?

OH YA. well I kno mine is 14x1.5 lug bolts. the shank length stock is 27mm or 28mm. Aftermarket stuff is throwing me off. So I asked a forum sponser (someone who sells em). he said same as stock. so I hope he's right lol or I'm out $30. Aftermarket wheels require CONICAL lug bolts compared to Ball lug bolts (oem)

ask the seller cuz my wheels are wider but lower offsets (so I think it balances out). I used http://www.willtheyfit.com/ to calculate stock wheels and aftermarket

The holes are kind of rounded. Hence is why I needed a ball seat. Then again they are replica wheels so.. you still might be kind of right lol.

I should add "most" aftermarket wheels lol
Most wheels you buy come with installation parts (Lug bolts). Mine did when I ordered my avant garde wheels. You should either ask the seller if they come with lug bolts OR wait till they arrive and look in the box (might save you from buying a set) But since I'm powdercoating them I wanted a nice set of gloss black to match compared to the silver that I got

I got them direct from AG did not use a forum vender or out source company. I asked and they said they don't come with lugs. When you buy from a website company that sells other stuff a long with rims they do give bolts with your rims. I'll ask my AG rep tomorrow. Found a thred on this site that sells MB lugs and locks. Been PMing with him once I get a length I'll order the set from him in gloss black.

Yeah I figured that they should be the same length. Even though the barrel of my new wheels are wider the face where the lugs are is not going to be any thicker so no need for a thicker lug bolt. Unless you add spacers then you will need longer lug bolts.
