Oh yeah these are the wide 5's attaching to the factory drums. I am running adapter 4to5 plates on the back but they are the same thread size as the original.

Get out your tape measure and finger it out for yourself! After you've determined the 2 lengths you need for your particular 'setup' proceed to Google 'lug bolts'. BTDT 
ezaccessory.com have a good selection @ good prices.

I would imagine it's either a 'ball seat' or a 'cone seat' lug bolt or a 'mag style nut with washer' used with studs. My real 2.0 liter 914 Porsche wheels take a 14mm 'ball seat' lug bolt.

It'd be better if you post some pictures of your wheels, so that we can identify if it's ball seat, cone seat or lug bolt with insert washers.
You may want to check this site as well:

I ordered from them a few years back and I'm very happy with their products. |

edited to clarify wheels
american eagle wide 5 fuchs use
the wheels use a mag wheel nut with washer. The only problem that you are gonna run into is that the 14mm mag wheel nuts do not fit through the hole in the wheel. you will have to change to 12mm studs or have the wheels redrilled to fit the larger lug (about .050" larger)
if they are the 5x130 pattern fuchs they use a ball seat lug nut just like the original porsche wheels
they have both kind and are very knowledgeable in wheel patterns and lugs

I have just got set of these wheels and it has taken a bit of time to get them on my 66' bug, for the same reasons as you.
The following details may help you:
http://www.machine7.com/product.php?xProd=10595&xSec=580
Wheel Nut, Mag, M12x1.5, 11/16' OD, 15mm, Flat Washer
Wheel Stud, Screw-in, M12x1.5, 40mm
http://www.machine7.com/product.php?xProd=1161&xSec=582
Please Note:
The Mag Nuts are not 15mm as descirbed at Machine7, they are 16mm (that's what they sent me). Therefore I needed to machine 3mm off them or they hit the drum before the wheel does! I also had to tap clear down to the bottom of the Mag Nuts, so the studs don't seize in them.
Do be careful with flat Mag Nuts (no taper). You really have to torque them up pretty high and without snapping the studs (70-80Ft/Lbs http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/techpage.jsp?techid=107).
Last thing is centre caps. I found some Wolfsburg ones in Calafornia:

Good Luck and hold on to them. |
