Ken_Lion Posted Thursday at 05:41 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:41 PM Greetings, I attempted to install a set of winter wheels on my 2019 W213 today and discovered that the original equipment wheel bolts are excessively lengthy. The wheels are OZ-MSW 5 x 112, 19x7.5, equipped with 245/45 R19 winter tires. I can either obtain spacers or acquire shorter wheel bolts. I believe I may possess a compatible component utilised on a 2002 Audi S3, M14 x 1.5, with a thread length of 30mm; however, I am uncertain whether it is ball or tapered. I suspect the wheels include a 60-degree taper, as they originated from an F30 BMW. Is there a straightforward method to verify this? I possess a steel space saver that likely requires shorter bolts; it was initially intended for a 2015 Audi A4. 1. Could someone verify if my OE wheels are ball or tapered? 2. Is there a swift and straightforward method to ascertain whether I require ball or tapered bolts for my MSW alloys? 3. Is there a swift and simple method to ascertain whether I require ball or tapered bolts for my Audi A4 space saver? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DenishP4 Posted Thursday at 05:42 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:42 PM If you possess a steel space saver spare, the shorter bolts required for its installation are typically included with the vehicle and are generally located in the styrofoam holder that accommodates the jack, wheel wedge, and warning triangle.

MDMH757 Posted Thursday at 05:42 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:42 PM Aftermarket wheels typically require different bolts; I experienced this with a W211 while transitioning from aftermarket to OEM, resulting in the bolts being too short. Essentially, the opposite of your actions. Visit a wheel or tire establishment; they should possess bolts available for purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Lion Posted Thursday at 05:43 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 05:43 PM My 2019 E400D does not come with any form of spare tyre or sealant. It is fitted with run-flat tires as standard. The vehicle is equipped with Eagle F1 MO tires, however they are not run-flat (RF) variants. The 19" space saver was obtained from a 2015 Audi A5. No original equipment wheel bolts; the current ones are excessively lengthy. The MSW/OZ 19-inch winter wheels and tires are sourced from a BMW 530 G30.

Ken_Lion Posted Thursday at 05:43 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 05:43 PM Indeed, I am cognisant of that; I am merely attempting to ascertain the precise requirements. Visiting a wheel shop is a commendable suggestion; however, I am uncertain about the availability of such establishments in this area, as most have transitioned to online platforms.
