Just purchased some 20" Aftermarket Replica OEM's for my 2014 S350. I tried to get them fitted today at the local car shop and they said that the OEM bolts from my 18" AMG's would screw onto the new 20" aftermarkets but the bolts slightly protude which is therefore unsafe and unusable. I asked them what length I needed etc and they would not help....nice!
I am really struggling to find the correct bolts - does anyone know what I need. This picture is of the box etc...
From what I have read (And I am probably wrong) the standard bolts are the following: M14 x 1.5 27mm Thread 17mm Hex Radius.
My question therefore is - if this is what I assume I currently have fitted and these are too long for my new 20" ones, what do i need?

You should really call the vendor. Many aftermarket replicas do not stay with the MB ball type bolt. They use a conical bolt. You need to verify which type of seat is on the aftermarket rim to be safe. Then you can get the right length along with the correct seat. This is why many replicas come with bolts, because you cant reuse yours.
