Volkswagen Lug Nuts, Lug Bolts & Wheel Studs for Aircooled Bug, Super Beetle, Ghia, Bus, Type 3, Thing

Lug Nuts & Wheel Studs

The air-cooled Volkswagen models, such as the Beetle and Karmann Ghia, used lug bolts instead of wheel studs and lug nuts from the factory, and the specific size changed around 1968. For early models, generally from 1949 to 1967, the factory setup used a 5x205 bolt pattern (often called "Wide 5") with 12mm x 1.5 thread lug bolts. These early wheels typically used a radius seat (ball seat) style lug bolt to correctly interface with the stock steel wheels.

For later models, typically from 1968 to 1979 (and up to 1977 for the standard Beetle and 1979 for the Super Beetle), the wheel bolt pattern changed to 4x130, and the lug bolts were upgraded to a larger 14mm x 1.5 thread. The stock lug bolts for these later models also featured a radius seat to match the OEM steel wheels. It's important to note that many owners of these vehicles convert their setup to use wheel studs and lug nuts instead of bolts, especially when installing aftermarket wheels. This conversion requires replacing the drums or hubs with ones that accept studs or installing thread-in studs, and then using corresponding lug nuts (e.g., Acorn style/tapered seat for most aftermarket wheels or ball seat for stock wheels) with the correct thread size (12mm x 1.5 or 14mm x 1.5) to match the newly installed studs.
