Wheel bolts and locks question
As some of you may know or not know, i recently ordered a set of wheels and have been having a hard time looking into what kind of locks and bolts i will run. I am in a situation where i will have to run 15mm front spacers to clear my calipers as i am told so that has me in a hard place when wanting to order a nice set of bolts and/or locks.
i have not really done the math and was wondering what length of front wheel bolts and locks i will need after the use of a front 15mm spacer and the stock length of rear bolts and locks.
I was also hoping that some of you that are running a spacer setup would like to go in on purchasing two sets with me to match a different length set. I have two setups in mind and if any of you are interested i would really like to know. I am really in no rush as my wheels will take about 3 months to arrive so send me a pm if interested.
The first setup i am looking at is the KICS Project Dency 2000 lock kit and some regular wheel bolts.

The second setup i am looking at is the KICS Project Dual Phase System lug bolts.

I would need to order two sets of different lengths in either setup if the sizes i need are available.
ps i am also interested in maybe doing a wheels stud conversion to just purchase some lug nuts but have not really find any info on that for the W209. I did see that a W204 did it but that was a while back. If you guys also have any helpful info regarding the wheel stud conversion i would be glad to hear about it.
