Product details
EMPI 00-9712-0 is a set of four chrome 14 mm lug bolts with a 60-degree tapered seat, made for mounting EMPI 4x130 wheels to 4-lug VW drums and rotors. They have a 19 mm hex head and a 24 mm threaded area. EMPI says the taper fits most new EMPI wheels and many other aftermarket custom wheels. Four bolts mount one wheel, so a car takes four sets.
Check the seat in your wheel before ordering. Stock VW wheels use a ball seat, and a 60-degree bolt in a ball-seat hole won't clamp the wheel correctly. For stock wheels, EMPI's chrome ball-seat bolts (00-9568-0, M14-1.5, set of 4) are the match. EMPI wide-5 wheels take the 12 mm version, 00-9711-0.

Fitment & Compatibility
For EMPI 4x130 wheels and other 60-degree-seat wheels on VWs that use 14 mm lug bolts, including 1968–1979 Beetles and Super Beetles, 1968–1974 Karmann Ghias, and 1966–1973 Type 3s.
Installation & Tuning Notes
EMPI's instruction is to check for proper clearance. With 24 mm of thread, the bolt tip can reach brake parts inside the drum, so mount the wheel and confirm nothing is touching. EMPI's guidance for its long lug bolts is to trim where they interfere. Anti-seize on the threads helps.
Common Questions
Will these work on my stock VW steel wheels?
