wheel confusion
I bought my car with 15" bottlecaps, tire size 185/65.
A while ago I bought a set of snowtires mounted on 14" bundts from a girl with a w123 wagon, size 195/65. 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?

thank you whunter.
The links however, don't give the specs. It has 2.5in listed for the "bottlecaps", but what about the bundts? Also, whats the worse damage I could have done tightening the longer bolts on with the bundt wheels?

Funny how that Mercedes Logo on the trunk just melts the snow off of it.
