Suggestion
IIRC the "standard" bolts are 45mm, so if you run spacers just add that thickness to 45mm and that should be your bolt length

Suggestion
Between you and me its kind of ok to use 5mm spacers without the bolts but not ideal.

If non oem and up to 3mm you can use your existing bolts no problem.
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.

5mm spacers inlude bolts longer with different color colars (orange-red).
if you go aftermarket 5mm spacers buy the bolts
longer bolt part number 997 361 980 07
see attached pic for difference in bolts length

Note here it says "...you reuse your stock bolts."

This was the same information I received when I installed my OE 5mm kit.
Bruce that kit from suncoast s not oem.
Oem Porsche kit has bolts included as per the picture i showed you.
I trust my eyes all this years not going to give up now.

Measure from the "flat" that aluminum washer mates to, to the end of the bolt
I am aware the link I sent you was not for OE spacers, hence my reference to OE spacers in the post. Today's Porsche 5mm kit for the 911/Boxster/Cayman does include bolts. However, when I bought mine for the 996, it did not. I trust my memory as much as you trust your eyes.
"the all this years" part was added to gain respect I am not old.
John
EDIT
And the syntax was wrong too its these years right? F*uck I cant trust my eys after all
