Those who have 2/5 19" Carlssons
Those of you who have 2/5" 19" carlssons or carlsson rims to be exact. Did they ship their own bolts with their rims? If so, how did they compare to the OEM bolts? Are they longer or shorter? I used the stock OEM bolts from my 430 to put my 19's on and they seem ok. I do hear a slight scratchy noise from my left rear wheel. Please advise.
Thanks,
Rob

You should definitely use different bolts since the rims carry a different offset.
It needs to be exact, too short is unsafe, and too long will cause it to hit objects in the backside (that probably the scratching sound you hear)

My '02 CLk 430 came with the ultra thin spoke AMGs, which are different style from MY99-01.
For my stock rims, the offset is +37mm front, and +30mm rear
You can always go back to the place of purchase for correct bolts, or contact Ben or anyone at evosport. I believe they carry those bolts.
