Question What length lug bolts for spacers?

Car: 2008 E63
Spacers: H&R TRAK 12mm spacers

Hello!

I'm new to Mercedes and my car. I was wondering if anyone knows the lug bolt length I should buy for 12mm spacers that will be installed on all four corners? I will be using the stock 18's. I am not lowering the car. Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Jonathan

Stock lug bolts size is 27/28mm I believe. So if youre putting 12mm wheel spacers, just add 27 or 28mm with that. Id say 40mm shank length would do it. And also OEM MB wheels only uses ball type lug bolts.

This is how i do it.... If i were you I would take one lug bolt off and measure the shank length of your stock one and add 12mm on top of that shank length.

Just installed spacers on my 2015 G63. I used H&R spacers and the difference is noticeable in the very best way.
Stance is spot on, body roll is down, and it drives substantially better. Should have been set up like this from factory.
