Hi, I’m running a set of the AMG/BBS 2piece wheels on my 036. I’d like to run a 10MM hubcentric spacer on the front, but I need some extended lug bolts. I’m not entirely sure the lug bolts that were on the car when I purchased it are the ones that originally came with it. I’m looking for some recommendations on sourcing some and what length I should go with.

Lug Bolt & Spacer help needed

Otis Inc.LA (www.OtisincLA.com) is a good source. Be aware that the spacers will require a bolt with 10mm longer threads which they will have however they and others may not have it with the head length to sit flush with your wheels.
There are others here that know these wheels and will surely chime in with what the heads should look like for this wheel.
Nice wheels.

I'm not sure what mfr produces a 10mm hubcentric spacer, there are clearance issues with the wheel bearing grease/dust cap. IIRC you might need to use 15mm.
What is the width/offset of the front wheel? Those look like 8.5 ET25, and if so, even a 10mm spacer will be pushing your luck with clearance while braking / cornering. It looks good as-is, I'd leave well enough alone.
BTW - search the forum for previous discussion about spacers.

Recommended spacers for AMG monobloc wheels | Wheels and Tires
Hi I have AMG monobloc wheels on my 1993 500E and I am looking for a recommendation on spacers to bring the wheels out a bit for a more aggressive stance. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated I believe I have 18x8.5 front and 18x9 rear

You’re correct 18x8.5 ET25. It doesn’t look awful, just not my exact preference. Thanks for the input.I'm not sure what mfr produces a 10mm hubcentric spacer, there are clearance issues with the wheel bearing grease/dust cap. IIRC you might need to use 15mm.

I’ll do a better job searching next time
If they are AMG monoblocks (from a W210 E55?), the correct bolts are 85mm total length with a shank length of 40mm. These bolts will be flush with the face of the monoblock.
This assumes you do NOT have spacers mounted, btw.
