[W126 Coupe] need bolts for 25mm spacer

[Sharan Bains]

25mm spacers should be the type which first bolt onto the hub and then the 
wheel bolts onto the spacer only. This is the way H&R spacers are designed.

If you are using genuine MB alloys, then 60mm bolts are a touch long for 
17mm spacers. Genuine MB wheels require 40mm shaft length...so with 17mm 
spacers, shaft length needs to be 57mm...did you not have problems on the 
rear with bolts that are too long ?

Anyway, from a safety view, you ought to run with H&R type 25mm spacers, 
where the bolt threads into the spacer, rather then extending all the way to 
the hub.

Talk to Steve Lemberg at Bergwerks for advice on spacers and bolts to use 
with them.
