What size lug bolts

**etyu** · 10-15-2008

I am planning on getting the chrome lug bolts for the R171 SLK 55, does anyone know the size of the lug bolts? (OEM 16 multispoke wheel). These are ball seat type lug bolts, right?

Is the lug bolt the same for the other wheels?

Does 12x1.5, ball seat lug bolt, 39mm, sound correct?

Just realized this got posted in the wrong section (my Bad). May I ask the moderators to move this thread to the R171 General Discussion section please?

Be concerned about the strength of the bolts. I don't know for sure but the OEM lug bolts appear to be 220 KSI FTU (shear). The alloy is not compatible with chrome plating.
