Sounds good,
I'm going for the 40mm size, may as well. -I still can't believe that AA/Perf Prod. charges 23.00 ea for these!! -Out east we have Autozone, which is similar to pep-boys, I get some stuff from them, Bosch oil filters, oil, the occasional bolt-this weekend, I put a new exhaust on and realized that I was two 13mm bolts short so I made a quick drive over and they had the exact bolt, you can get some stuff at these places, I just wouldn't try to get anything technical from them, IE-spark plugs, wires, etc.... |

plugs are used on many cars, if they have the right model #, these places can save you a few bucks, they plug wires are a different story altogether.... we have autozone here too, but they are even worse than Pep, believe it or not, when it comes to FLAPs, O'Reilly is the best I've found... they are still bad, but not as bad as Pep, they at least know what a 914 IS... they also carry Kendall oil, and can get some other parts... they had a voltage regulator for my teener and an altenator... the alt. needed the same modification as the Bosch ones, and the regulator looked different but both worked fine... and the alt. came with a lifetime warranty... I hadn't read the bosch info, before installing the altenator, and the first one shorted because of it... SO, I took it back, no questions asked, they had me a new one in the shop the next day... |

I got mine, they work great, but I don't have fuchs or the 40mm versions, my 35mm versions on western wheels worked great though |

It's been awhile since I have had four lug Fuchs....but aren't the front and rear wheels able to use different lengths?

If I get them I'd be using them on the 2.o liter fuchs, after cleaning out my garage/shop area I found a dozen extra lug bolts, so I may be fine.
-All the lug bolts on my car now are the same size, and the rim's are all identical, so I don't know why you'd be able to use different lenght lug bolts, but I do know that the standard steel wheels used a much shorter bolt, because the rim is much thinner, and you don't ever want to use those shorter bolts for your alloy wheels. -Adam |

The front rotors are threaded for the lugnuts.....while the rears you have to go thru the rotor and then thread into the hub BEHIND the rotor. You have an extra X amount of turns to get a complete snug fit.
IF I remember correctly....you might be able to get away with long bolts just on the rear. But the last time I had four lugged Fuchs...the car had a mix of lugnuts and some even had 17mm heads on them meaning THOSE were after market.... |
