500SL rims on W126 - new lug bolts required?

Hello all,

Just obtained a set of wheels (225/55/R16) from a '92 500SL for my '86 560SEL. The wheels fit nicely on the hub; but as I was putting on lug bolts and hand tightened them, they appears to not to be flushed into the wheel holes like they do on the original rims. The threads usage seems to be the same, just that the heads stick out more than they should. What am I missing here or there are different types of lug bolts ?
Please help!

Thanks in advance,
Frank.
