Lug studs are different length left to right

My front lug studs are different length and have to stay with the wheel. Can I swap the tires left to right as long as the studs go with them? How bout the backs any differences?

Yeah and they have to stay with the wheel. If I switch them they are so short it wont extend through the rim on one side and on the other side there is 3 inches past the wheel.

The factory studs are all the same length. It sounds like someone has replaced your studs with aftermarket ones with the wrong length leaving me to believe that the car had a set of wheels on it before.

See the weird thing though, is the wheels are stock wheels but the 2 fronts have to have different length studs on each side. If I rotate the wheels side to side the lug studs wont work they will be way to short on one side and way to long on the other side. So I have to rotate the studs with the wheels. One wheel is thicker then the other wheel. Maybe somebody replaced one wheel or something.

Is it possible that one of the wheels is aftermarket? One of my back wheels sticks out slightly further like the offset is slightly different. I got wheel whoas!

Standard specs for the 2006 CL55 are:

245/40ZR 19 XL front tires
275/35ZR 19 XL rear tires

8.5J x 19 front wheels
9.5J x 19 rear wheels

Look on the back side of the wheels to see the size designation and offset.
Let us know what you find.
ps: I believe the CL65 has a 4mm wider track than the CL55 and the offset may be 60mm rather than 46mm on the CL55.

I did find it out for the back. One is a offset of 40 and one is offset of 60. Just sucks cause I really need another 60 to get my tires to fit right. Anyone know a good place where I can get another 60 offset wheel. What one is the correct wheel anyways? The 40 looks awesome but it sticks out just a bit to far. For the front I found out that one wheel is aftermarket and thats why it has different studs. I can see because the bolts on the wheel are different from all the other wheels.
