19" SSR Rims ?

Well I received the SSR GT3 rims I purchased off here last week, and they didn't come with any lug nuts. I did a test fit (and contrary to what the seller said) they dont clear my amg calipers. So I am going to buy some H&R 5mm spacers, but when I go to order they need to know bolt length/dimensions. Since I dont know if the GT3's are suppose to be used with a specific bolt that would have shipped when originally bought, or can i use the stock bolts that are on the car now? If i can use the stock bolts does anyone happen to know the dimensions so I can order the spacers today, if not I can pop one off tonight when i get home and measure but then I wont get them till Tuesday....and who wants to wait!!

Thanks guys!

I did call tirerack this morning because the tires that were suppose to have "tread left" on them, really dont, so I was getting an idea as far as tire prices. And at the end of the conversation I asked they guy about spacers and he said they dont sell them.....???

i think he meant that he doesn't sell the spacers by themselves but i do know that the SSR GT3 that tirerack sells automatically comes w/ spacers.

Yeah sorry about that... the guy at tirerack said they don't sell them by themselves, I didn't feel like arguing with him about the fact that they sell them with the wheels....so why cant they sell them by themselves.

Yeah, it looks like they sell everything. Now if I only knew what size shank these fancy new rims need that I just received!! LOL From what I see stock shanks are around 24mm.... I saw the thread a little while back with the guy calling everyone pathetic because no one knew the shank size off the top of their head...what a jackass!! Trekman got it the size for him and the guy didn't even thank him! Some people amaze me..
Thanks for the help here guys...it looks like I got screwed by the Eric guy discussed at the top of the classifieds forum. I realized it was him the day they arrived with his name on them, I am just surprised I actually received SSR rims, granted the tires are junk, no center caps, and more scratches then described...plus he said they were on a C32 and if they did need spacers they were "$5 from tirerack".... Ok..... oh well, live and learn!!
