Alloy lug bolt size question
 

I have lugs with a 1" threaded shank which hold on Riviera Wheels. Will these work to hold on other alloys, including Fuchs wheels? If not, how much would a set of used ones go for?

The correct ones to use with the alloy wheels (IMHO, including Rivieras!) are about 2.5" long total. The lug bolts for steel wheels are only about 1.5" long total. Sounds like you may have the steel-wheel version.

Used bolts are often pretty pricey. There are "almost right" ones that go for a medium amount of $$ (they have a 17mm head instead of a 19mm one, but they are the same otherwise). Check the ads here and on 914club for used stuff like that. Or buy new from Pelican, of course! :D

Does anyone have a 4 bolt fuchs laying around, and willing to measure the thickness through which the lug bolts must pass? The ones I have holding the Rivs on still protrude through the back of the rear hubs and front discs by several threads. Just trying to determine whether I'll need new lugs if I pick up a set of Fuchs. Thanks.

You will need the longer lug bolts. The short ones leave you with too little thread engagement when you use factory alloys.
