Guys and gals, I'm looking to purchase a C300, but I wanted to verify some fitments with the Lorinser LM-5. I do understand that the offsets of the new W204s are high @ 50ET give or take. My real question is, are the new lug bolts bigger on the W204 versus the W203?

Yes....14mm, not 12mm

Hmmm...so since the W204 bolts are 14mm, would that mean I'd have to make the holes machined to accomodate to the new diameter? Seems like a stupid question, but just making sure before I have the wheels worked on. I'd hate to get this '08 C300 and not be able to use this set of Lorinser's. They've been sitting in my basement since forever! I used them on my W210 for a couple years (2005-2008). Before that, my mother first bought them brand-new on her W209 when they first came out in 2002.

no, aftermarket wheels can use 12 or 14. just get the right length if you want to run them.

Ah, I see. So basically the LM-5's will fit, but I just have to purchase the correct size bolts. 12mm or 14mm will both fit in the lugbolt holes without any modifications?
