Subject:Found: alternative longer lugbolts
From:Benjamin Tan

I bought some 1993 Mercedes S-Class lugbolts for factory MB alloys. They are
14 mm and about 5/8" longer than stock Vanagon lugbolts. Perfect for those
wanting to install non factory alloy wheels or wheel spacers.

If the bolts are 14 mm, can it then be surmised that the wheels from the 1993
(maybe other years too) MB S-class will bolt up to Vanagon hubs without
drilling. Nevermind offsets for the purpose of this discussion. I know that
older years use 12 mm bolts. Even my 2000 MB CLK alloys use 12 mm.
