I have a 400E and have a set of the aluminum CLK rims that I would like the put on. The problem is that the lug bolts currently on my car will not work.

They have about 1/2" of shaftlength between the head of the bolt and the threads. That 1/2" is there because my current rims have that space in them between the hub and where the bolt head sits.

The CLK rims have very little space so if I use my current bolts the head will sick out about 1/2 from the rim, which isn't going to work to well

I think that the correct bolts will be shorter and have the thread go all the way to the bolt head, but I don't know for sure.

Does anyone who has these rims know?
