HRE on E500, bolts?

Hello,

Excuse me if I have worded the terms wrong. I'm getting a set of HRE rims and tires for my 2003 E500. Can I use stock bolts or should I use my gorilla bolts from my other set of rims? Or, is there another set that would fit these prefectly?

I know that with my other set, the bolts didn't fit the rim properly. There was a concave inside the holes, where as the stock bolts were flat. Not sure if that makes sense. Just want to do everything right this time. Thanks.

Whoever you order your rims from should supply you with the correct bolts. You will most likely need different bolts depending on the specs of your rims.

no problem. since you already have aftermarket rims, you could possibly use the same bolts if the HRE's are built with the same specs, but I doubt that will happen.

I went from stock rims to my aftermarket rims, so I needed new bolts. The bolt lengths even differ from front to rear rims due to the offsets.

I ordered my rims from Peter @Wheelexperts. The bolts came with the rims.
