Lug Bolts for AC Industries Disk Brakes

Anyone know what size lugs I need? They are ball seat, but I'm not sure which size I need to order. Wish they were conical as I have a set of those sitting on the shelf already.

The standard size lugs for those wheels on a 914 are ball seat 14mmx1.5
And 38mm long

But it depends on what size threads you have in your discs

Bumping this up because I still haven't been able to find the right lug bolts. I have the Empi (I know I know) fuchs repros, so I know I need ball seat, but I have the AC disk brakes, and I have been to 2 different tire stores so far and no one can even match the bolt pattern, much less find one that fits and is ball seat.

Help me.

Veedubfreak59, Sorry cant help you with the size of your kit but when I bought my kit from CB Performance I got my lugs from autozone. They have various sizes of ball seat lugs there, the ones I got for mine were 12mmx1.5 pitch. Hope this helps.

Ah that's good to hear. I bought a 67 dual circuit master cylinder from there a few weeks ago and had to make them order a new one because it didn't come with the reservoir. I have one of the rotors in my car and was planning on swinging by there today anyway.

turns out they are 14x1.5. So at least I know what to order. Any idea what length I need? nm, it's mentioned up top.

If youre in a major city, take one wheel and a rotor to a quality tire/wheel store. Most have available wheel hardware. You may want to have screw in studs with a lug nut. If you want OEM looking Porsche lug nuts, which are of an alloy material, they are gonna be a bit pricey. Look at the web site, Pelican parts out here in So Cal. There are a few sites that sell Porsche oem stuff without going to the dealer. You can also look for the local POC (Porsche Owners Club) or PCA (Porsche Club of America) for your local region for guys/gals who have maybe done the same thing on a 914. But, please adhere to a high quality of parts, that will take the proper wheel torque.
Hope this helps, Bill.
