Chris are those rings a press fit in the rotor or are they trapped in between the rotor and hub?

Light press fit in the rotor center bore, snug fit in the wheel.

* correction >> seems i need M14 x 1.5 x 65mm for 4 lug fuchs.
edit - seems like 80mm stud is needed with 4 lug fuch to leave some thread showing.

* correction > and M14 spherical nuts.
edit - seems like nut must have R14 ball seat, not R13.

oh yeah - do i double nut to install them and would i use some version of loctite to hold them in place?

I believe you need 14x1.5 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

when I installed mine on the Puttputt, I used loctite red and double nutted them to get them in...
worked great. They never moved in over 3 years of lots of on and off with different tire/wheel combinations.

My question as well. What keeps the lugs from backing out when you take the wheels off?

For the 2.0 liter Fuchs, would I use the Porsche nuts or the spherical VW/Audi nuts?

i sure hope it does not matter as i ordered the black oxide nuts and the
M14x1.5 ACS Race Studs - 65mm - this morning - i have wanted studs for a long time.

m14x1.5 ball seat nut should all be the same fit - i hope.

those should work fine Jim....Spherical/ball seat I believe are interchangeable terms for the same thing.
As long as they are not cone seat you will be good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

rav - seems like i should have ordered the porsche nuts

the lug is about 24mm wide and the nut is about 25mm wide

the lug seats perfectly into my 4 lug fuch but the nut does not.

according to the website - the porsche nut has a R14 ball seat ??

the one i ordered has a R13 ball seat ??

Just to be sure I'd take a Sharpie and totally black out the seat on the wheel, and then torque a nut on and see where you are getting contact. If it's a broad area you are OK, but if it shows a thin line it's a no workie.

FWIW, they do look correct from the pic.

Ideally, the stud length/wheel/spacer combo will allow some threads to poke through the top of the open lug nut.

I JUST sold the wheels I owned that accept ball -seat lugs, PM me if you need a set that I bought from Pelican. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

regarding threads showing past nut - the pic aboev is not mounted to car, just nut threaded on stud and dropped into wheel laying on ground - but i agree.
