AMG Monoblock Aero II question
I hope this is the right forum for this question. I think I posted this question at first in the wrong MBWorld forum last week.
I bought a set of AMG Aero II Monoblocks last year for my 1990 Mercedes 500SL (18x8 ET31 fronts and 18x9 ET35 rears). I went to put the rims and tires on last week and realised that my stock lugs were too long (from 16 inch factory rims).
Being that this is a common setup with many people replacing stock rims on the earlier R129 Mercedes with the Monoblocks, does anyone know what the proper lug size/dimension that is required? And do the AMG Monobocks come with a round or conical seat?
I appreciate any help or advice given Thanks in advance.

Sounds weird that they were too long. Seems like your rims were shaved to fit or something. If theyre AMG they should come out the same amount. The lugs are supposed to come 17mm out of the wheel. Ball seated
