    I used the same lugs when I had my aftermarket BBS wheels, though they had one less thread in comparison to the stock 14's I had. Have a compare first. I'm not sure, but I've heard that 7.5 threads is the minimum?

    Oh, and the centre-cap fit on fine.

      just be careful.... if you need a longer bolt, just go buy some from a tyre/wheel place, they aren't expensive. i'd make sure you have plenty of lenth rather than not enough.

            If the bolt's are too long, they can interfere with your rear drum brake internal's. Doesn't matter if it has rear disc's fitted though.

            I went with bmw wheel bolt's. They are a little longer than standard & are powder coated black.
