AMG Wheel Lug Bolt Length?
Hello,
I know there are numerous threads on this topic - I have read most of them, and I am still a little confused and really need some help.
I purchased new wheels - Mercedes AMG 18 x 8.5 all round with a 35ET. I know I will need hubcentric spacers on the rear (66.6mm bore I believe, as 66.5 is too small), I'm thinking of using 15mm spacers, I know this will require extended lug bolts too.
My confusion is with regards to the length of the extended lug bolts. Is it just a case of purchasing a set of lug bolts that are 15mm longer to compensate for the 15mm spacer?
I have read that many people have suffered e/brake issues by using bolts that are too long. I realize a lot of people opt for the Mercedes/AMG wheels on their cars and would have had this same issue, and probably know the right length of lug bolt to go for.
Availability for the extended lug bolts is relatively scarce where I am other than for Ebay, I want to get the wheels on over the weekend and will have to order the spacers & bolts prior to this.
Any help or advise is most appreciated,
Regards
AR
