Where are the spare tire lug bolts stored?
I checked out the spare tire and tools this morning and could not find the spare tire lug bolts. Where should I be looking for them? I noticed a small *empty* compartment in the left rear corner of the spare tire well.

Assumption was based upon experience with SLK
That's good to know. My R170 and R171 both included spare tire wheel lug bolts that were shorter than the standard bolts.

Thanks! Took me forever to update my Sig. No time with our little ones, and just lazy. How have you been, and have you put the AMG wheels back on after the winter. I'm sure you have, but out here in the bay area, we have been having rain in May which is pretty rare.
