Can I use an acorn style porsche bolt or tapered to make up the diameter difference so that I may use an sl55 rim 22 spoke rims on my c55?? I really want to make this work to have a clk63 black look and am determined to do so but wish to do it as safely as possible. What is the best and safest way to make up the difference?

I was also thinking about using a sleeve insert like they do on my race car rims by cooling the insert then pressing them in for a great fit. Ideas where to get such inserts so I don't have to machine them or what is quick easy and safe?

Thanks! Sean

I've seen post by members stating that specialty bolts are available for such instances. You might want to search.

Awesome! I am looking on their site. Which ones are the ones you're referring to? They don't say what the diameter is of the collar or whatever, just the bolt diameter and style. Thanks Sean

Wait, Is this what you were referring to:

4128 12x1.5 R14 Ball 35mm

I assume they're ball as the cone type don't list the measurement? Cool!
Thanks again!

I am not sure too
the best way is to contact the vendor to confirm the sizing
but i am 100% sure they have those special bolts since I brought mine from there
