Just as an aside, I installed the longer lug bolts too accommodate a 5mm to 7mm spacer for the front....ran without them....car ran as good as ever.

The rear gets no spacers so i will replace the long studs and go back to stock.

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.

I was....but hopefully no more since ordering Wheel Mounting Guide Bolt: 9A7-007-733-OO....Note: If you have PCCB brakes on your car, you have one of these in your tool kit. Just as an aside, I installed the longer lug bolts too accommodate a 5mm to 7mm spacer for the front....ran without them....car ran as good as ever. Just as an aside, those longer lug bolts making changing tires, especially the rears a really tough, quad burning, job. No more for me, going back to stock lug nuts, optimized install with the Wheel Mounting Guide Bolt

I
got my part from 5150 Motorsports out of AZ, no sales tax, always a +++ for me.
5150motorsport.com Christine Johnson expedites their orders and does one heck of a great
job.
I'm not a "rennlister extrordinaire" but these wheel mounting posts are readily available from many sources. I have a pair from way back, either VW or Audi that work great on the 996. I also have several Porsche versions. They both work equally well, as they are simple devices.

"rennlister extrordinaire"
John the Rennlist founder gave me that title years ago, it is not self imposed. I was an early adopter of the original site which was later changed to Rennlist, join date of May 2001, that's 18 years no matter how you cut it.
I may be reading this wrong, but did you say you are running 5mm-7mm spacers and removed the longer lug bolts? Or were you running longer bolts, without having spacers and have gone back to stock? If you are running spacers, you have to run longer lugs. It will be fine, up until the point that it is no longer fine.
I want to run spacers in front so will not change them out. The rear gets no spacers so i will replace the long studs and go back to stock.
i have two (2) of the pins, will try wheel changing with one, and two.
I'd like to second OP's recommendation on Christine at 5150 Motorsports - have been buying from them for years - best service, orders are always perfect even though i'm constantly adding or removing things!!
So did I--I know I've been using the one that came in my tool kit for 15 years now. Luckily someone told me what it was for early on. Mounting wheels is a nightmare without it.
When I lift the car with the rear jacking point, if you go up a little bit more the front wheel will come off the ground too. The stiffness of the chassis is incredible.
