After taking everyones advice about the rims I did not drive today. Again the community has great support and I am glad i posted this last night before a nasty incident happened. I will take it to a proper shop to get custom sized bolts. the fronts are too short and would have fallen off while driving, the backs are too long and may have damaged my P brake.
It's baffles me why this car's hub design is different than regular c classes. Anthuny's rims fit fine on his car, however his bolts don't catch in the front while his backs are too long. Anyone have any input on this, anyone?
BTW I will put my old rims back on in the morning. it makes sense to be safe. thanks for everyone's input. I took the bus today

woah... 17mm... I just got bolts with 26mm shank length and thought those were cutting it too close to being short....
hmm damn i hope these arent too short now lol, they looked longer than the ones i had previously. and im not running a spacer on the wheels im putting on..so hopefully ill be okay.

umm i ran the spacer in the front, no spacer in the rear. the wheels were real close to the rear calipers but didnt need them, i put the fronts on for safety, even tho i didnt have a coilover setup.

white and whiter
it'll be fine with the hubcentric spacer and with little clearance, but you won't be able to upgrade your brakes tho.

i took em off, one the back fender keeps hitting in the rear, i think i need to roll the rear fenders and it doesn't make any sense why the backs dont clear my rear calipers. Anywyas i back to my first set for now, I have to find someone to make bolts for me. Jline or whoever makes those wheels are of no help at all.
