New Wheels Lug nuts are too long!!!
I had purchased 18x8 wheels with a 35 offset but the lug nuts I have are a little too long and are hitting the ebrake parts in the rear. The hub bore is 66.6. How do I figure out which size lug nuts I need or would I need a spacer?

Sorry just purchased a 03 C320 4matic. Its replica 18" amg wheels and im pretty sure the lug nuts are oem. The rear lug nuts are hitting the parking brake springs in the rear.

Get the OEM lug and put one in your OEM wheel and measure how far it sticks out from the other end. Now put the same lug and put it in your new wheel and measure how far it sticks out. Subtract the difference so you know how much less you need. Factory bolts shanks are 39.9mm long. Also when you first catch your lug bolt onto the thread it should take 6 full turns to tighten it.
