Default Wheel bolts- 12mm, what length

I'm familiar with the "normal" bolts that I use on my 500sec and my 300td...they are either 1 1/4 up to 1 3/4 long not counting the head. Yesterday I saw some bolts for some after market wheels (chrome, 15X7, you see them all the time) and the bolts are close to 3" long! So...does anyone know (or know where to look) what the range of sizes of bolts are out there? Or who might sell a wide variety of Merrcedes style bolts? I'm asking 'cause I want to add a couple spacers and I'd like as much flexibility as possible. Please don't comment on the wisdom (or lack thereof) of using spacers, thanks. Dave

Try a good tire store that sells aftermarket wheels. They should carry a variety of lug bolts and various thickness spacers.
