My wheels came with a motley crew of lug bolts, different lengths and styles. I remembered reading that bundts used longer bolts, so I didn't expect to have a problem if the current lugs were working with the bottlecaps. WRONG. Lugs on the rear wheels were too long, and I probably messed up my emergency breaks. I'm buried in snow and haven't found out what kind of damage I did.

So, from what car did my bottle caps come off of, and what spec lug should I have for these two sets?
The correct BUNT lug bolts are MB# 1084010070

Fastlane: Lug Bolt

What you call bottle cap lug bolts are MB# 1264000070, superseded to MB# 1244000770, superseded to MB#0009901007
