As long as you stay with stock MB lug bolts. I have aftermarket bolts (gorilla locks) that take a special socket, so be aware of that.

white and whiter
bolts size are pretty standard 17mm for almost all cars. wheel locks have a special tool, but on the end they are usually still 17mm or at most 18mm.

Are these type wrenches generally preferred over the cross type you can find at a local auto store? I find the cross once easier to use since it's more balanced and use less force.
