So I decided I just want to keep the discs upfront and drums out back..

so i found these guys that should bolt up just fine:

only issue is I can not find 5x130 drums that fit a type 3 only found these:

So how the hell do you re drill for the rear?

Check with Mario at T3HQ. He is now having 5 x130 rear hubs made in Germany. Check his classifieds ads.

I have an original set of 2 Litre Porsche alloys to run on my square.

What wheel bolts can I use? original Porsche 914 ones? Pitch/Size/Length?

Anyone have the spec required to run them safely?

thanks

I ordered these longer Mercedes style lug bolts from ezaccessory for my OG 2.0 liter wheels. I have to run EMPI spacers on the rear to get the dust caps to fit on all the way. A bonus is that the spacers set my 205X70 tires just right from the rear fenders! http://www.ezaccessory.com/Lug_Wheel_Bolts_s/20.htm

The 4 lug Mahle wheels fit nicely, but if you 205s under the rear, use spacers or you will rub on the spring plate of a swingaxle car.
I wish I still had mine. Doh!

Cheers I have ordered some M14 x 1.5 x 27mm thread, radius seat, for now until I can find some original quality bolts.

Thanks for the info.

Aftermarket bolts arrived but are crap and too short.

So on the lookout for the genuine Porsche 914 bolts if anyone has some they can help out with.

See What you mean about the rear center caps not fitting all the way Mike.

I think spacers will put my tyre against the fender arch lip. What other options are there? Other than not running the cap.

Anyone making slightly bigger caps to take the castle nut?

On a 71 IRS squareback

thanks

I told you mine fit with spacers & you then decide they won't fit without even trying! I used the 39 or 45mm lug bolts.

Mike my wheels fit and I only have a finger gap between the tyre wall and the fender arch. What size spacer have you used? my car is a 71 IRS model.

185/65R15 tyre on the 5 1/2 J 914 Alloy wheel.

I am down 1 outer on rear and 2 outer on front.

What size spacer?
