AMG wheel stud bolt help on my E500
I just recently got a set of AMG wheels Split spoke
part # A 209 401 1802
17x7.5f and 17x8.5r
I tried them on my 2005 E500 and the wheels fit but the bolt holes are too small, I tried the bolts from my E500 (m14x1.5) and they are too big, then I tried the old bolts from my 2005 CLK500 (m12x1.5) and they fit the AMG wheels but are too small for the holes on the E500.
Is there anything I can do? I do NOT wish to modify the wheels, are there special bolts I can buy? The reason I got these wheels is because they are 17s, I wanted to reuse the tires on my E500 and use the AMG wheels.

There is nothing you can do that would be safe. Those wheels should not have been bought for W211 (A209 in part number is a give away - CLK wheel for 12x1.5mm bolts).
You have two options (both bad) - have a specialty shop enlarge holes or change your hub assembly (including rotors) to CLK (very expensive).
The third choice is to sell them and buy correct wheels.
As a side note. One can use 14mm hole wheels on 12mm cars (with correct hardware - 12x1.5 tread with R14 head, these are not that easy to obtain), but not the other way around.

209/W210 Estate /W211 modded by MBENZNL
check with new forum sponser Rad Bolts, to fit a w211 to a w210 you need a bolt with 14mm ball, 12mm bolt, length depends on your specific wheel, i used 26mm length shank, call rad they are very helpful

Read OP post carefully.
He needs the complite opposite - to fit W209 (same as W210 since both use 12mm bolts) onto W211 (that uses 14mm bolts).
As I said before - it is not possible, the other way around ("your" way) - yes (and I stated that above), but that's not what he needs.
