Hmmm, thought the late 70's 914's had bolts, but those weren't really P-cars were they?

Default Volkswagens!

I've had: '67 911, '72 911, '74 911, '82,911, '88 911, '85 944, '95 993, and '00 986. All had studs and wheels were held on with nuts until the 986.

Default So....the real question is, does the wheel you are mounting care?...>>>

I have BBS LMs 18x8.5 and 18x10 with 50mm and 65mm (I think) offsets that came off of either a 996 Turbo or a 993 Turbo (can't remember which).

Are the wheels manufactured with the mounting methods in mind or can I use either bolts or studs/nuts?

Default If they are spec'd to Porsche ....>>

Then they will requre the Porsche Ball style Nut/stud Most likely, but may take the normal aftermarket Cone style....Dunno. You also have some serious offset issues to work out there as well!<ul><li><a href="http://www.wheelenhancement.com/index.php?t=AccLugsLocks">Check out pics here....These guys are P-Car experts</a></li></ul>

Default Tell me about it on the offset issues, but I think it can be done.

If not, then they will go on the Phaeton. Figures that every wheel I show my wife, she hates, until she sees the LMs that I have lusted after ever since seeing them on Stan's car at TT-East/Asheville.
She's got good taste!

Default why are the offsets going to be tough?

25mm adaptors from porsche-fitment to 5x100 are pretty common, and they should be exactly what you need at all four corners.
