Spacer Guys...I'm in a pickle..

So I'm really confused here. Was hoping some of you that have put on spacers can help me out.

ML550 with GL 20x8.5 +60 rims.

Bolt on the car measures 45mm shaft. Travels in 9mm. I confirmed with the wheel alignment tool to see if can go any further in. Once threads needed to start spinning it in it traveled 9mm and that has no obstruction like the bolt seat does.

I want to put on 20mm spacers. Logic would say I need 65mm bolts. (Which are hard to find and expensive as heck)

1) What is the stock shaft length bolt? I don't know if mine are stock.
2) What bolt length did you guys go with?

Thanks in advance guys.

Well I did my own research and measured multiple times and callculated to come up with what works.

Project was a success. Front and backs are perfectly FLUSH with the top of the fenders. I'll post pics tomorrow but man does it change the stance and look of the ML even with the high offset rims.

Here is what you need.

FRONT: 15mm Spacers. 60mm Shank Bolts. 06-08 12x1.5, 09-11 14x1.5 Ball Seat

REAR: 20mm Spacers. 64mm Shank Bolts. 06-08 12x1.5, 09-11 14x1.5 Ball Seat
