Longer bolts for spacers...
OK, let's try it this way. Can someone suggest where I might find the longer lugs necessary for the track widener kit (spacers) in my Carlsson wheels? The OE bolts are dangerously too short when used with the 10mm or so spacer setup. Autoclass? H&R directly? Help, I've got ten tacky lug nuts on my reara wheels just to stay safe. Thanks in advance.

Out Of Control!!
Were you sold spacers without being told that you would also need lugs? H&R makes some, which I can get you. Or if you are in a hurry, you can pay a premium at the dealer.

What happened was...
that a customer traded me a W210 with 19" Carlssons. They have the track widener kit (spacer) in the rear, but apparently the last idiot that put tires on didn't have the forethought to take a look at the lugs. Now I'm stuck with some tacky junk just to make it safe. Might I assume that the longer ones from Autoclass will be satisfactory? I haven't tried Tirerack to see if they have the right ones for the Carlsson wheels, although I doubt they'd sell them separately anyway. ideas? Thanks for your help.
