Wheel lock sizing

Hi all, can someone tell me what wheel lock size is correct if I have the appearance package that came with the 20" wheels? I bought a set and I think they are made for the 19" wheels. Thanks for the input.

Same wheel lock set - don't LOSE the wheel lock "key" and don't LOSE the wheel lock set code.. there are like 40 different contours to that lock set - and Roadside Assist does not carry in their service vehciles, shop tool only.

I bought a set of McGard and it seems to be too short for the 20" wheels. It does not reach so I can't even tighten them to the wheel.
This is the spec:
Overall Length 1.82", Shank Length 1.0"
M14 x 1.5 Thread Size
17mm Hex Size
Radius Seat Style Wheel Locks

I apologize - I had read your post as you bought the lock set at your dealer - and from my side wheel lock set is same length for 19" and 20" wheel size.

Do I now understand you bought your wheel lock set - made by McGard - at other than MB dealer - so you need to know correct size ?

That is correct. I have the 20 inch wheels on and the set of McGard did not fit(much shorter then the bolt that's on). Here are the specs for the McGard. Thanks for your help.

-Overall Length 1.82", Shank Length 1.0"
-M14 x 1.5 Thread Size
-17mm Hex Size
-Radius Seat Style Wheel Locks

What you need to know...

Under MB part# 6-6-47-0156 (Silver) rim lock set - $127.50 list with dealer net $95 - so that you know the dealer isn't ripping you off.

I have attached 3 photos - the boxed silver wheel lock set with key wrench - comp photo showing measurement - and a shot of the "code #" for this particular set and NOTE key lock code is BOTH the 3-digit large code PLUS 6-digit smaller code.

Hope this helps... keep the beat !
