Extended lug info needed

I have been trying to find the correct size lugs for my r53 and have found literally 3 different listings of the size . I need stock size diameter but need alittle extra length as I'm going to be running 5mm spacers . Are these ones I found the correct ones ??? If not what , what lugs would i need that are about an extra 5mm long..?

You could also simplify your life by swapping to studs, most kits are long enough to run a spacer too. Bought mine from Outmotoring 8 years ago, I'm not running spacers, so you'd need to confirm with someone who does.

I looked at them but I like the cleaner look of the stock style lugs.

Yes, 28mm stock + 5 mm spacer = 33 mm.

Make sure you get the right seat style as well. OEM Mini wheels, and many aftermarket wheels, use cone seats. I believe those Mercedes lugs will be ball seat, same as VW. Not cross-compatible.

35mm long ones will work. 2mm out the back of the hub won't interfere with anything.

My wheels had the same seat type, but I wasn’t sure if the lug hole depths were the same for all wheels so I measured how much the stock bolt stuck out of the back on the stock wheels and aftermarket wheels to see if there was a difference. Then I looked for lug bolts so the aftermarket behind the wheel measurement equaled stock plus spacer.
