Minispare wheel bolts

RE: Minispare wheel bolts
If I weren't so damn lazy, and groggy from just over eating, I'd go take a look. I mean, it's just in the garage about 40 ft away... but later.
Anyway, are you telling me that the bolt size is the same if my spare is full size? I got the impression it was steel wheel versus alloy wheel regardless of size.

Indeed I am a woman. (m)
I was fine with changing the tire, just ticked when I figured out that there were different sized wheel bolts for the spare. Now I need to buy a replacement vehicle tool kit & wheel bolts for the spare. Nothing is easy.

Okay, one of you guys help me out (mbz or flying ape). I'm getting a mixed message.
If I have a full-size spare on a steel wheel, do I need different sized bolts for it since my car has alloy wheels?
Are the different sized bolts for only a donut spare?

My spare is full size, but I have different bolts because the spare is steel where the ones on the car are alloy rims. Thickness issue...u know.

Yeah it is all W126s that i have seen all have full size and same style wheels that came on the car from the factory. I guess they just lately have been thinking about that bottom line and decided on using steel wheels.

That's weird. Pretty expensive spare tires.
I need to go check mine... still. I just don't want to empty the trunk and then put everything back in right now. I have a lot of stuff in there right now. It would be like spring cleaning. I usually don't do that until fall.
