Hey guys,
I'm about to pick up some 17 inch AMG wheels tomorrow and I'm wondering if I need to obtain the lugs from that original set (the 17's) or will my lugs off my 15 inch wheels work the same on the 17 inch wheels? Probably something I should know, but I'm really not sure about this. Thanks for the help.

Okay does it make a difference that they are not monoblocks?
i used my stock bolts when i changed to 17s... i just switched to longer studs when i added spacers...
it is also dependent on the offset of the wheels i think..
The wheels I'm getting are the AMG 171 wheels, the offset front is 37, rear is 30, anyone familiar with these?Originally Posted by wichipong
