[W126 Coupe] Attn: Satish, Bolts used on your Hammer wheels?

[Mike R.]

On the front wheels, bolt length can be significantly too long without any
problems since there is nothing inside the hub to be hit.

If the bolts are too long on the back they will hit and destroy the parking
brake mechanism. If you are worried that they're too long in back, turn the
wheel with the car still in the air to see if they touch anything. 

Later,
Mike R.

Whatever you use for lug bolts, the most important thing is that they are 
inserted 10 full turns into the faceplate.

If they can't do 10 turns, they are too short and you risk losing your 
wheel.

If they are too long, they stick out behind the faceplate and may interfere 
with brakes and steering components.
