just got my new rims on
i just bought oettinger RE's from a fellow AWer. put them on today with the lug bolt he gave BUT, the lug bolts are the same length as the stock bolts. the lock is longer (about 2.5mm more). any one know the right size bolts?? the lock look like they are the right length. pics tomorrow.

Oettinger uses unique lugs..
14x1.5 R12 34mm.
Stock lug bolts are WAY too short.
Plus, the ball seat is not correct.
Using a stock bolt runs the risk of damaging the seating area of the bolt. R13 (stock) have a wider seat, and shouldn't be used on Oettinger wheels.
Contact an oettinger dealer for the correct lug bolts.

I can vouch for stock bolts being WAYYYYYYYY to short
I wouldn't advise driving with them on. When I first got my wheels the bolts were shipped late and wouldn't arrive until the next day. I got bored so I put the wheel on with the stock bolts and they would barely even thread on just to see what it would look like. So as you can see it is not safe.
