What lug bolts do I need for Carlsson 1/6?

I just purchased a used set of Carlsson 1/6 off of a W208 and they are going on a 1997 W210. The wheels are 18X8.5 and 18X10. What length of lug bolts do I need? Will the factory ones work?

TIA,
Steve

I had a set of 17X7.5 1/6 and the factory ones did not fit. Mercedes uses a ball (radius) seat and the ones I had were cone seat. However, you should double check the Carlsson just by taking a look inside and comparing them to the OEM wheels. I heard some Carlsson wheels were produced with Ball seats.
