I noticed my bolt is too long for this alloy wheel. should I get a shorter 12x1.5 or a shorter 14x1.5 if it fits safely ( I was reading all your input) Am I right that 12 or 14 represent the diameter of the bolt? will it fit? thx
W211 E series...alloy wheel no. B66471916
W203 C 280 (2007) alloy wheel no. B66470766
bless you and thank you
NEITHER

Mercedes C-class (W203) have two bolt sizes:
-long- M12x1.5 thread, R12 ball seat, 39.9 mm shank, 17 mm Hex (for OEM alloy wheels)
-short- M12x1.5 thread, R12 ball seat, 20.6 mm shank (for winter "steelies")

E-Class (W211, S211) from `02 - alloy & steel wheel -
M14x1.5 thread, R13 ball seat, 26.7mm shank, 17mm hex

You'll need custom lug bolts with:
M12x1.5 thread, R13 ball seat, 26.7mm shank, 17mm hex

It'll be a pain finding these custom lug bolts in good quality. Better to get W203 winter rims or just put the 16" winter tires on your W203 16" rims.
