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.

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.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

From my searching I see that 5mm spacers don't have nor need the lip for the wheel to sit on. Do 7mm spacers need this lip or will there still be enough meat on the hub for the wheel to sit when the 7mm spacer is in place? Also can 3mm spacers be used with stock bolts? I'm guessing no. Before I take a wheel off and measure I thought someone may know of the top of their head. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

7mm is just enough to be hubcentric, but not enough meat to hang the wheel w/o aid (hands, bolt or holder). I believe this is why Porsche does not make 7mm+ spacers. I would not use stock bolts with any size spacers.

POST 3Original post

Plus 1 I bought 7 mm H&Rs recently and the best way to do this is putting the wheel carrier that comes with the tool box

POST 4Original post

5mm spacers (shims) are fine with the original bolts, any spacer bigger than 5 mm requires larger bolts.

POST 5Original post
