MDMH757 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago 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 utilise a 60-degree taper, given 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, originally intended for a 2015 Audi A4. 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 straightforward 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...

HOV Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago If you possess a steel space saving spare tire, the shorter bolts required for its installation are typically included with the vehicle and are generally located within the polystyrene holder that accommodates the jack, wheel wedge and warning triangle.

DMGRS Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago 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...
MDMH757 Posted 13 hours ago Author Share Posted 13 hours ago My 2019 E400D is not equipped 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 19" winter wheels and tires from MSW/OZ are designed for a BMW 530 G30.

MDMH757 Posted 13 hours ago Author Share Posted 13 hours ago 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 of the availability of such establishments in this area, as most have transitioned to online platforms.
