Do you need larger bults for a 5mm spacer in the rear of a narrow body 997s?

 

I would use larger lug bolts (my 5mm spacers came with larger bolts). I am sure some would say it's ok to use the standard length, but when torquing them it may put additional stress and stretch that may fatigue the bolt and lead to failure. Better safe than sorry IMO.

 

Mine came with longer bolts as well. They look really cool btw.

 

OEM option 5mm spacers are sold with the longer GT3 wheel bolts. The Bolts have a red ano finish on the bolt collar, instead of the gold finish on the shorter stock bolts.

 

Check post #22. I couldn't find anything else to do on a balmy Feb. evening in Ohio.

Nice post in that thread Alan. Great clarification. Indeed you must have been pretty bored

 

how about a drive in a Pcar?

 

Probably thought about it. Snow, ice and in the teens wouldn't have been a good choice with half worn MPS2s

 

sorry. i missed the sarcasm with balmy feb evening.
