Stock studs if your not using spacers. 56mm studs w/1/4" spacer, 72mm studs w/up to 3/4" spacer for the rear. Depending on what tire you use in the rear you may want to use a spacer so the inside of the tire clears the oil lines. The 9x16's have approx. 1/2" more offset to the inside than the 7"&8" Fuchs. Stock studs on the front. If you need 56mm studs I have some for sale. If your going to use steel lugs instead of the alloy ones you may want to use 72mm studs in the rear so you have some options on spacers.

I was criusing with about 100 mph/160 kmph, the car went into spin, hit the crash barrier (you know, the heavy steel one, made up from 4 mm steel bended into profile) with both front and rear end.
So the wheel just came apart due to high rate of speed? Did the wheel hit a pothole or something?

I hit nothing, just came apart in a curve.
Replica Fuchs wheels are weak because they are cast in same dimensions as the forged.
Look for OE partno., OE stamp and dim. incl. ET (offset)
The replica wheel has only size, like 8*16.
If you have one of these replica Fuchs, I cannot recommend them for cars, but nice for your gardenhose.
