Longer lug nuts? Any other models?
OKAY...Looks like I am in for some fun....New calipers do not clear my wheels width-wise. I tried a 5mm spacer, but of course now my lug nuts are too short -- They won't even catch at all.
So I am thinking 10mm spacer will work, but I need longer lugs. Is there a different model that uses longer lugs that would fit mine? I need them ~15mm longer I would guess. Alternatively, where else should I look to obtain them? I only need for front only.
My current lugs I measure @ 62mm total length, 40mm shank. So I would guess 80mm/ 55mm shank if they make one that long? Longer is fine because it is for the front only.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Why not use the H&R "DRA" spacer.
The spacer bolts to the hub with supplied bolts and your wheel bolts to the spacer with the standard lug bolts

I had to change my rear lug nuts when i put on the wheels because the stock lugs hit the e-brake shoes. I have a bunch of other mercedes lug nuts lying around the shop if you need any sent out let me know.

Yes, there are longer bolts. Get a 7-10mm hub centric spacer and buy 50mm bolts. Just look on ebay. You'll spend about $80.
I had these bolts but I gave them to rivcal4life. Ask him because he was putting 10mm spacers on his carlsson wheels.
I'm sorry but he doesn't need to spend $200 on spacers. He also doesn't need 30mm spacers.

20mm is the first DRA spacer, I have some
Mercedes don't have studs, they have bolts. You can buy a stud conversion kit which I also have but I don't recommend it for the front.

You also have a 500E which 20mm spacers would work on. On those lorinsers which I used to have the offset is somewhere around 34mm. He'll be at +14 on the front and they would stick out of the fenders with a DRA 20mm spacer.

500E Signal Rot
Cars that come with factory wheels (8" diamater or larger) have the lugs your looking for. I have noticed that these lugs are used with 8" through 10" diamater wheels.
