Wheel stud qeastion ?

What studs would I be looking to put on a 22x10 50mm hub Amg replica wheels ? The seller don't sell them with the wheels. Would the ones on the Ml now fit ?

I assume you mean lug bolts, not studs. Studs are used typically for track driving to facilitate wheel changes.

It depends on how the wheel is designed (thickness of lug area and profile of lug recess). Likely your stock ones will work, but check with whoever is going to mount them, or directly with the wheel manufacturer or retailer you bought them from.

I would measure how much the stock wheel bolts project inside the stock wheel and try to match that with your aftermarket wheel.

If the stock wheel bolts match well you could use them, but otherwise you'll have to source different bolts. Very dangerous to use improperly sized bolts.

That's good advice. Need to check that the seat shape is the same between the two, as well though.
