I looking for a longer lug bolt.....

I was thinking this would be easier than it is.
The OEM lug bolts on my (our) 2014 E350 Coupe's are ~51mm OAL x 27mm shank w/r14 radius seat (according to everything I've read). What I am looking for is a chrome bolt that has the same shank length BUT has ~55-60mm OAL. In "my opinion", the OEM bolts sit inside the wheels too much. I would like them to be a bit more visible. Does anyone share my thought and/or have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

That is an outstanding idea---why not go to any machine shop and have a couple made!

A simple solution would be chrome caps to fit over the lug nuts. Inexpensive and they look good. Have them on my E400 Cab and my G Wagon. They are 17 mm and slide right on. Available on e-bay from a company in California.

You know, with all the time I spent looking for longer bolts; I never thought to look into covers. I purchased a set off eBay. We will see how I like them. Thank you for that suggestion!!
