124 bolts work with the 15" alloy wheels used on '85+ 201s, BUT NOT on

Interesting. Our mobile 201 is '86 and has the same appearance for
its wheels as every other '86/87 car we have. The parts 201 is an
'84, but it came with no wheels. (And only three places to put 'em!
That's where the crane comes in right handy.)
It's the wheels (not the car) that dictate which bolts to use on the
'84. When I put later wheels on my '84s I had to use later bolts (40 mm
threaded shank). I have 14" '84 wheels on my '85 now and MUST use '84
bolts (29.5 mm) or the longer bolts will tear up the emergency brake
shoes - if they turn at all!
