Stock wheels: spacers and bolts

Hello All,

I've tried to search for an answer but none of the topics really got me anywhere.

I'm buying 10mm (or12mm not sure yet) spacers (H&R) for the rear of my 2008 E350 sport. I have the stock rims, the Avant ones. I see which model number I need for my car, but where do I get the proper bolts that will be needed The description of the HR spacers say bolts not included.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I will post before and after pictures for those interested.

Dont qoute me on this one but I believe OEM lug bolts for w211s have 27-28mm shank length, ball seat bolts.

So if you are putting 12mm wheel spacers on OEM wheels, just add 28mm + whatever wheel spacers you are putting. In your case, you need ball type bolts that have 40mm shank length for your OEM wheels.

Yeah you'll need 40mm ball seat 14X1.5X40 bolts. They can be purchased through ECS Tuning for example (which is where I got mine).

Thanks everyone, ordered them. Love the look of my stock rims (my opinion) and the spacers really made a difference in the rear.

Thanks!
