Will W202 steel wheel lugs work on w203 steel wheel? help

Hey guys, I need some help. I bought 4 steel wheels for my w203 just like the spare tire. They are 205/55 r16. I took the alloys off my car and put the steel rims on yesterday using the same lug bolts. My car could not even move, it started shaking and feeling like the wheels were gonna fall off. I looked in the book and apparently with the steel wheels there are a special set of small lug bolts??

So i did some research online and came up empty handed. I was wondering are the lug nuts on mercedes somewhat universal?

Will W202 steel wheel lugs work on a w203 steel wheel? help me please.

Take Care,

Mercedes that come with alloys but with a steel wheel for a spare always include a set of shorter lug bolts in the tool kit. The owners manual describes this.

If you're going to mount more than one steel wheel, you'll need more of the shorter lug bolts.
