Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I am getting 2 new front tires fitted, (Pirelli P Zero) at the same time and was hoping to get a new set of lugs fitted too.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi guys, 1st time poster so apologies if a newbie question.
I just bought my 1st Porsche. 2014 Cayman S, 18,900 miles. I collect the car next Friday and have it booked in for a restoration detail and ceramic coat to make the paintwork look as new.
The car is in great condition however the wheel lugs / bolts look battered. Is this normal? I am getting 2 new front tires fitted, (Pirelli P Zero) at the same time and was hoping to get a new set of lugs fitted too.
I have found the ones I would like on 911.uk but I am unsure what spacers I will need? The Cayman has Carerra classic 20" alloys so want a black set to match.
Also, I notice the under carriage of the car is a little more 'worn' than I would expect for a just shy 2 year old car. Is this also a common issue, and is there a way to clean this?
Apologies for all the questions
Any help is much appreciated.

Why do you need spacers? Porsche do any for 20" wheels on the Cayman. They do 5mm spacers for the smaller wheels, but if you fit anything over 5mm thick you will need longer bolts.
Tatty looking Porsche wheel bolts is very common. I went for a some from Design 911 which although are a bit pricy, do keep lookin good. They also do wheel spacers if you are after some and from what I've read, most go for 7mm front and 15mm rear.

Hi Mr pg, Thanks for the reply. Apologies but that is why I was asking as I do not know what I need. All i know is that i need new wheel bolts as the current ones are ruining the otherwise perfect alloy wheels and the ones I would like below are available with or without spacers.

I'm guessing from your reply I do not need spacers?
Thank you
Thanks Trev, I understand. So i do not 'need' spacers but they do improve handling etc. So on the Cayman which is untouched from factory, then there will be no spacers, correct?

Yes, correct.
