2013 W204 Alloy wheel bolts, radius Question

[mikrt]

Looking for 4 new bolts for my C Class.

I've found a site that sells some, but they have a choice of radius values, R12, R13, & R14.

All other sizing is the same; M14 x 1.5, 17mm head size, 27mm thread length.

Which radius size do I need, or does it not matter?

Thanks.

Looks like you need R14

Sounds like you're binning lockers for ordinary bolts - do you not have 4 in the locking wheel bolt box, the cars are delivered new with ordinary bolts then the lockers retrofitted and the originals put in the lockers box along with the locker key - so you have enough bolts for fitting the spare!

Exactly. Already looked as I've done it on earlier cars.

Since my original post, I've chatted online with these Wheel Bolts | Alloy Wheel Bolts | Buy Wheel Bolts
I was told R13.

But after further searching, it does appear it should be R14.

It also appears that I'm not the first to have this dilema.

I may end up buying a 2nd hand set from the same car to be 100% sure. We'll see.
