C32 Lug Bolt Size

Hello, I am going to mount the stock AMG wheels back on my 2003 C32 and I lost all the stock lug bolts. Can anyone tell me the exact specs of the stock ones and also possibly a place to purchase them cheap (doesnt have to be OEM parts). Thanks.

Are you 100% certain that the stock shank length is 40mm?

stock is about 38.5mm, so the 40mm will work.

I got 12x1.5 40mm lug bolts today from a local store and I tried to mount the stockers on and the threads barely even came across the other side. These were the cone seat type. Would the cone seat make that much of a difference?

I just measured and the guy gave me .75" (19mm) bolts. IDIOT. I am going to return them and just order the correct ones from pure MS. Thanks.

I measured my bolts a while back and they were 39mm long.

12mm x 1.5 r12 with a 39mm shank hex 17 - I think for all w203s.

Question people

The C32 and the C320 carries the same bolt pattern Correct?
it will be 12mmx1.5x whatever lenght if you are running stock wheels it will be longer than runing aftermarket wheels?

right or wrong?

Both patterns carry over (think c32 wheels on non amgs). The thread should be the same too. Shank lengths vary according to your wheels... (my stock bolts were longer than the ones I needed for my wheels)

gl. (did you get another set of wheels already?!)
