C32: off with 19" Foose, on with 17" original wheels

I am leasing a 2003 black C32. I am taking off the 19 inch foose rims that came with the car, and putting on the original C32 17 inch AMG rims (bought used from Dead Ringer...thanks man!).

Unfortunately, the lug bolts for the rear Foose rims aren't long enough for the rear AMG's 8.5" width. What size lug nuts should I get for the rears?

Also, if anyone is interested, I am selling the Foose chrome rims with Toyo Proxie 4 235-35-19 all the way around (1 tire is brand new, other 3 have 90% tread left). Also have a 5th Foose rim without a tire.

I am looking to buy 4 more 17" amg rims and winter tires, and would consider rims and/or winter tires for partial trade-in on the Foose/Toyo set. I live in Northern NJ, about 5 miles from Manhattan.

The Foose/Toyo combo came with the used car.

glad to hear the rims/tires got there OK... I would try your local tire store (maybe a discount tire etc..) if not you can always swing by a Merc dealer and pick some up.
