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.

Use the original lug nuts from the donor vehicle. The owner's manual will point out that the lug nuts from the original 15" wheels are significantly shorter than the ones from the C36 / C43 AMG.

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?

stock bolts should be ok...
