Are the bolts for the rear suppose to be longer or shorter?

I had issues with the bolts being too long.. They had to file them down to make them shorter.... Depending on your wheels you will need shorter bolts in the back.

Need some opinions on wheels
Hi, I'm ready to buy some wheels and decided on these:
http://need4speedmotors.com/index.as...ROD&ProdID=238
Now, I really don't know which color to get. They come in chrome and Hyper Black. The customer rep says that the hyper black will look smaller due to color but I'm not too fond of chrome either. At the same time I don't want my wheels to look smaller than it's actual size. My car is a C230 coupe and it's silver. Please help. By the way I'm getting 18in wheels in staggered fitment. Thanks guys!

Silver car...hmmm...I'd go with a titanium or gunmetal type color. I'm not a big chrome fan, but the design of the rims are nice looking. I'm assuming 1 piece rims for that price, right?
Either way, if you're set on getting these, I would go with hyper black or gunmetal/titanium (if they can do it).

Ruff racing wheels
I was looking to get the Ruff Racing 278 in 18x8.5. I read something about how these rims may need hubcentric rings. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to confirm that. I know I saw a member having those exact rims but I forgot his user name.
thanks
thanks

Yes they do. They should be included with the rims when you purchase, that's if the dealer is familiar with the fitment requirements. I got the hubcentric rings when I made wheel purchases for both my Volvo and C320. BTW, I am running Ruff 279 in staggered 18's on the C320.
I have been very happy with them, but now am looking to move up to 19's, so these may be FS soon.
Good luck!!!

265/30 is a more popular size. you will find more tires at that size and so it'd be much cheaper.
check tirerack guys... they do have the best prices for all the tires they carry.

I didnt know that a 245 tire could be stretched that much.
i would love to take 265 but no one really could give me the information if it would rub with 3 normal adults in the back (and no shaving)
the goodyears are 255/35/19 ... are 35's good too? other than that the speed would be a little more, but then again i'd get more mileage. - could those 5mm play a big role in coming closer to the top of the fender and causing rubbing?
and razor, clean ur pm box please

I personally recommand 265/30/19 or 255/30/19 for the rear AND 235/35/19 for the front
