SL55 Wheels 5 spoke

Got a set of these wheels(pic below) off of an 03 SL55 they are 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 ET30 and ET33. I have read conflicting information regarding the correct bolts/lug nuts to use. Some say the stock ones are fine, others say you need some special conversion bolt or "wobble bolts". If I can't safely fit them then no problem I will just sell them as I got them for an outrageously good deal. Thanks everyone!

Hey I am running the same rims. You will need to get new bolts to properly mount these. If you run the old/stock bolts you will find that the thread does not go all the way up the bolt and so the rims wont sit tight. and if you have the ones that do go up you will destroy your parking brake!!!
