Wheel Lugs/bolts for W124

I bought a set of four used what I thought were MB alloy wheels to mount my new snows on. When the tire shop went to install the new wheels the bolts/lugs that had held the original wheels were too short and they didn't have bolts the right size. It appears the repacement wheels are 7J whereas the original wheels are 6 1/2J, is this the problem? Can anyone tell me where to get the right size of bolts?

Follow-up

Turns out the used rims were from Tiger Wheels in South Africa, and have been discontinued for years. Originally they came with their own original bolts. The bolts were large 44mm cone seat shanks with a whopping 40mm head. The shop where I bought my tires (Steelcase Tire and Mag) put me in touch with Steve Pinnock at TireMag on Keele St in Toronto. Steve custom cut bolts that now fit perfectly. BTW first impressions of the Nokian NW's is very good, handling is great and they are very quiet for such an agressive tread.
