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 bought spacers (see my other post) and they came with very strange lug bolts ( I think needs to convert to lug nuts, but don't want to do this)
SO I am looking the best place to buy longer lugbolts (15mm longer rear and 7mm longer front)
Anybody???
Hi Eric yes close to 2 dealers....I guess I have to call and ask.....I just figured out that the regular bolts are 14x1.5x29.....so if I have 15mm spacers in the back they would need 14x1.5x44 bolts and in front 14x1.5x36...correct me if I am wrong....because I am guessing
I didn't buy wheel locks..don't really need them...I think..never leave the P outside overnight and never leave it sitting somewhere...but now that you mention it....maybe I should get locks!!!
I bought longer bolts from Gert Carnewal (site sponsor) along with wheel spacers. Both are made by Porsche and came with the wheel lock and tool. As they say, "there is no substitute".
Regards,
I have a set of Cayenne bolts (20 ea.), brand new still in sealed bags, for sale. They are 8mm longer than standard 996 fare, including GT3. Send PM if interested
I have the floating ball lug bolts....are these necessary?? or can I use regular ball shaped lug bolts...
I have the classic sport wheels from Porsche....
this is a bigger headache than I expected it to be!
another thingy....if I use the GT3 lug bolts (the ones for the 5mm spacers) with my 7mm spacers..is this going to be a problem?? Or is it better to get bolts that are longer?
okay.....I figured it all out...they mailed me the wrong spacer kit..with lug studs instead of lug bolts...so now I have to wait a couple of weeks because they have to come from Germany..and then it will all be good.
Thanks Ray, but I need 7mm in the front and 15mm in the back
I just bought spacers and longer bolts from Ralph Boothe and I was blown away by his quality. After seeing his stuff I wouldn't consider anything else.
