upgrading wheel - extended wheel bolt question

I would like to upgrade from the original OEM 16 in wheel on our 98 ML320 to the 18 OEM wheel.

I just need a sanity check before I order the extended wheel bolt from the more experienced folks on this forum.

If the original wheel is 8 in width with an offset of 62 mm and the new wheel is 8.5 in width with an offset of 43 mm, I need to extend my original wheel bolt by 25 mm?

Since the original is 28 mm in shank length, I need a 53 mm shank bolt? Is this possible? The longest extended bolt I know of is 50 mm.

Am I calculating something wrong on the wheel offset calculator?

If there is a good place to purchase these bolts, please also let me know.
