On Q1, it depends on what wheels and spacers you are going to use. Longest will surely work but may be less sightly and heavy.
Q2: I'll post soon

Re: lugnuts
Their are a bunch of ways you can go. There are tons of choices in 12 mm and the JDM cranks those out. in 14 mm you have to look a little more. In you're using most wheels, OEM included, you need 60 deg taper seats, not ball type.
So you have a choice of materials:
1 - Normal steel, with various plating types
2 - High Strength Steel Alloy
3 - Aluminum
4 - Titanium
OEM are #1. On my FWD racer, I use #3 on the rear and #2 on the front drive wheels to save weight. The cost of #4 is out of reach.
The so called "Tuner Lugs" are ones with fancy heads. It is also easy to find locking type nuts too.
Just Google 14 X1.5 lug nut

I was looking for VW race parts from Bildon and spotted those. Contrary to what some believe, I do not have all previous R threads committed to memory.

Re: (Johann)
Thanks, I don't generally even think about what that specfically means just as I don't our TPI system. That and resistor color code have become built into my head.......
as usual, there's a wiki for everything
