I swapped out wheels on my 2012 c250 from the stock 17" to Euromag EM2 wheels at 19". They look great, but I just noticed the rims at the lug area on the newer rims seem a bit thicker than my stock wheels. I didn't measure but I'm guessing 5mm or so? The stock lug bolts seem really short already. I got the new wheels/tires from wheel studio a d they didn't say anything about needed different lug bolts. The new wheels also appear to have he correct lug "ball" type fitment. I'm just wondering how worried I should be and if I need to start looking into longer lug bolts?

You should get a minimum of 5 full turns of the lug after it catches the threads. If it's less you should get longer bolts.

Thanks guys

take a stock wheel and hold a bolt bottomed out and measure the threads or length sticking out. Thats what u need or a little more to be safe. FYI most aftermarket wheels are cone not ball seat, double check w your pinky. around 30mm is whats usual, alot of mine are 33mm theres alot of room in the hub actually

im pretty sure euromag em2 are cone seat so you shouldn't be using your stock lugs anyways

you don't want the lugs too long either because they'll go in to the e-brake in the rear rotors
