2017 GLS63 Flower Head lug nut part number
Hi Folks
My 2017 GLS63 has Flower Head lug bolts.
I bought a Flower head socket 17mm, and to my surprise it barely fits on the bolts like if they were swollen. In order to remove a bolt, I need to hammer the socket in.
I found a new lug bolt on the glovebox and the socket works perfectly on that one.
I have decided to replace all the lug bolts, it would be better than being stranded in the middle of nowhere with a flat, but need the part number.
Can anyone provide the part number?
Thanks in advance

I actually replaced all of mine with regular 17mm wheel bolts on my GL63 . This completely did away with the flower head bolts.
I used genuine Mercedes bolts but have no idea of the part number, sorry.

Thanks roviw1
I'm thinking all lug bolts have loose their original shape by being abused by previous shops taking care of the car. Probably impact tools with wrong socket. Maybe tire shops.
So now, I'm thinking if getting new flower heads lugs is the right move, instead of getting standard 17mm like you did. Definitively we don't have control of what the technicians do once the car is inside the shop.

Available at the usual Mercedes online parts shops, along with FCP Euro and Pelican Parts. Genuine Mercedes parts seem to run $10-13 ea, the Febi/Bilstein versions are $8-10 ea.--Joe
