So I bought a sweet set of amg monos they're 235/45 front and 255/35 rear but the bolts on my stock 15's 195/65 are way too short I was wondering if anyone knows what size to get and where I'd get them without paying the earth any help appreciated guys
 
Did your car have steels before? If it did just get standard alloy wheel bolts off ebay.
 
Hi,
My C230k came with 15' AMG alloys from factory, I have fitted staggered 17's on mine with the original wheel bolts which are identical to my C43 ones.
If your car had alloys on it I would of thought they would of been ok.
You could try a breakers, as i believe there are only two lengths for a 202, 210s and 208's would be ok as well.
 
Ok I contacted guy I bought wheels from and am getting correct bolts from him, he had wheels on a w210, now my worry is the 235/45 fronts will rub or worse foul suspension anybody have experience of this?
 
225/45 and 255/35 are the correct sizes.
 
Am going to go ahead and fit them I've read on other forums that the 235's are fine upfront if not lowered so we will see I'll report back for every bodies info
 
Should,nt the front tyres on a 202 with 18' AMG rims have a profile of 40? Not 35.
My 43 has 17's on and the front tyre profile is 45, my understandijg is that to keep the same rolling wheel radius (necassary to keep the traction/cruise control operating correctly) on 18's you would go on size different with the tyre profile, 45 profile for 17' rims, and 40 profile for 18' rims.
 
Andy, correct. It was a typo, 225/40 are correct. So, 235/45 will be far too big. But 255/35 are correct for the rear.

...except he has 235/45. The correct tyre wall is 90mm high, the tyre wall on 235/45 is 106mm. An extra 32 mm on the diameter. The CC may not work.

And the car will look funny since the fronts will be bigger than the backs.

AMG kindly sent me two sets of bolts for my staggered 17" rims, the threads were the same length but the heads were longer on the rear making it easier to get a wrench on them :) . A nice touch I thought.
 
so here she is :)
