Another lug nut help thread
I'm about to purchase this set for the wagon, but the guy didn't have the original bolts with it and I need to order a set.
Spec of my current wheels
7.5x16 ET41
New staggered SL65 set
front 8.5x19" ET 25,
back 10x19" ET 28
They come with a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S M+S tires mounted, 255/35ZR19 92Y, and 285/50ZR19 94Y.
I checked the fit, and they actually clear the suspension, brake lines (back is huge, I'll need to roll and full the fender though.
Could anyone point me to the right person/direction to figure out the bolts? The current bolts I have are too long and won't lock the wheel in place.
Much appreciated for taking the time to reply and help.

1) look at your existing bolts with your OLD rims. slide the bolt through your
OLD rims (designed for 210). look at the length protruding out the back of the
rim. measure it. the bolt you need needs to protrude out that same amount
from your SL rims. do the math
2) chances are high that the SL bolts are 14mm diameter bolts. which means
you can't just buy standard 12mm diameter bolt. you'll need special, hybrid
bolts with the larger 14 radius ball seat which is on the 14mm bolt.
