I am adding 6mm spacers to my 997 and need to know if it is necessary to add longer bolts. If so can anyone tell me how long they should be?
Thanks
Caesar

Yes, you will need longer bolts. They will be about 6mm longer then the OEM bolts. The supplier of the spacers should be able to supply you with the correct bolts.

Are you using the factory wheels?

6mm seems like an odd spacer size, but the general rule is this. The standard lug bolts are 30mm, so you'll need to add 1mm of length to the bolt for every 1mm of spacer. So in your case you'd need a 36mm bolt to accommodate your 6mm spacers.

You will need them. I have the longer bolts I sell with 7mm H&R spacers if you need them. They should work fine.
