I have a set of BBS Motorsport 3-piece 16x8/9" wheels I'm planning on using on the 914/6. These came from a 930. I have 65mm wheel studs and they are not long enough on the rear due to the extremely thick centers. I obtained some 100mm studs. A little bit to long in my opinion. I'm always worried about cross-threading a lug nut with an air wrench so I decided to modify the 100mm studs.

Close-up of bullet shaped end modification.

It should be pretty tough to cross thread a lug nut on this wheel stud.
