i bought aftermarket rims for my SL (R129) these rims were designed for the SL, but they had shorter lugnuts that came with them original. well i bought these used and the seller didnt have them. they are Antera rims. right now my lugnuts are too long in the back and they hit the brake caliper's. i need to loose between 10mm and 15mm. i bought a set of 15mm spacers BUT with those on, the wheels stick out too far and the tires rub the quarter panels.. is there a company i can buy shorter lug nuts from? and if so, what are the size of my stock lugnuts?

I recently needed new lug-bolts for a non-OEM set-up. (I put W211 chassis alloy wheels on a W210 chassis) Try www.OtisIncLA.com and see if they can help you. If not, maybe they can at least point you in the right direction.
