Aftermarket Bolt Size Needed

So I am about to put my 19's on and I am not sure what the bolt size of OEM is. (12x2!?!)

The bolts stick out about .5" more on the aftermarket wheels, so I'm not really sure what the size should be when I call up an aftermarket wheel house for bolts. Can anyone help me with these or help me these bolts with matching wheel locks? I'm dying to my these rims on :P

your w208 clk takes 12x1.5 bolts... when you order, either order the correct length, or order the longest they have

if its long, you can just cut the bolt... but if its short, then you screwed...

mmgrad,

Do you know the size of the nut for the bolt? I just bought a torque wrench but not sure what size of nut to buy. Thanks again.

So you are saying that I should buy 12x1 bolts? because the bolts stick out .5" more on the aftermarket wheels and I dont wanna jack up any of the brake internals.

Thanks,
Rob

no no...

there are 3 measurement you need when ordering it...

12x1.5 is what you need to get.... I think its read like so... 12mm is the width of the bolt, 1.5 is the tread pattern

the 3rd number you need is the length of the bolt...

so technically, when you buy the bolts, it will say like:
12mm x 1.5 x 1.67" or something like that...

just measure it... the length is measured from the bottom of the bolt head... so basically, measure the part that only has tread on it...
