Wheel Stud Lengths?
I had a staggered set of C43 17" AMG Aero II Monoblocks on my '99 c230 and the studs were understandably longer than the stock 15" rim studs. Will I need to purchase the E55 wheel studs to run the E55 18" staggered AMG Aero II Monoblocks or will the set of studs that I have for the 17" work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you for the reply! I would have used the the stock 15" bolts, but when I took off the 17" AMG bolts they were a little longer and I was wondering if the 18" AMG's required even longer bolts, yet again. Thanks again!

Thanks for all your help in clarifying this for me. I did not want to chance it and have any of the wheel bolts sheer off while driving. So, am I understanding you correctly that the c230 uses the same length bolts for any wheel size that you put on the car? Thanks again!
