Got some used lug bolts cheap on Craigslist. Just want to make sure they are for the 2.0 fuchs. Ball seat looks correct from pictures I've seen. They are about 1 3/4 inches long with about one inch of thread. Sound correct? Just want to make sure these aren't too short. Thanks

"one inch of thread" sounds like you have the shorter 25mm bolts...NOT what you want. I had those when I got the car, and they did not thread very deeply into the rotors...scary.
You need the 38mm bolts. if you are in the Bay Area, go to Parts Heaven in Hayward. They have some reproductions that are well priced. |

38mm of thread is the correct length for factory alloys.

yes, I'm referring to thread length.
I had them on the fronts with 2.0 Fuchs, stripped the thread halfway into the rotor...threads deeper in looked brand new... |

Thanks guys, lesson learned. They were advertised as 2.0 lug bolts on CL. At least it only cost me $20 to learn the hard way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
