I have Riverias on my 914 now but will replace them with a set of Mahles as soon as I repaint them and get a set of BF Goodrich g-Forces mounted up.

I was checking the current lug bolts today and saw that they only have about 3/8's of an inch of thread to bolt into the hub. Is that enough, especially since I have 2 DE's over the next 6 weeks? If not any recommendations on a source for the proper length?

Thanks again!

Hal, measure the threads on one of the ones you have and I will measure one of the "long" ones that i have. This will give you a better idea of what the thread engagement will be.

It will tomorrow afternoon before I can get to, but I will do so and post the measurement.

Thanks!

Here is a pic of a "long" alloy lug bolt. You can see that it is just under 40mm long.

When looking for a possible source, I found this:

Looks like you have the 38mm bolts. I'll let you know how mine compare.

Thanks again.

Glad to see that mine are the most expensive ones!!! Careful of cheap aftermarket ones on ebay and around. I think the ball seat is wrong and I also think there is a thread here somewhere about that. As for the bolts, I think I can come up with 16 if you need them but someone else will have to set the price. I sell on ebay so that I don't have to do that.

Jonathan, looks like I have "shorts." So if you have a set of "longs" you are willing to sell, let me know what $$$ you are asking.

Thanks for the help.
