looks like I have 5-6 threads of engagement, can't believe that is correct, just posted add for 38mm for my Mahle's that I just refinished and put new tires on

-still want to drive with my Riviera's on but wondering is it safe?

The book only lists two part numbers. In all the years I've been working on 914s, I've never seen or used anything other than the lugbolts that were stock for the steel wheels in conjunction with Riviera wheels. The longer bolts are used with Mahle, Pedrini, and Fuchs wheels.

If you're using spacers of any kind, the short bolts will not work.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I've had Riviera wheels on several of my cars and always used the OEM lugbolts from the 914 steel wheels without any problems.
