I'm not sure but why are you looking for them ? What benefit is open-ended to you ? Just wondering....

also, open ended lug nuts have more thread per length, e.g. more durable

they're just better and i want some

and both the places above don't offer them for 997/cayman cars

anyone?

You mean lug bolts right? The an open end lug nut to fit over the bolt. Haven't been able to find either for the 997.

996 997 Porsche's are Hub centric the bolts just hold the rims(wheels) to the hub. the hub has all the load.

A thread pitch of 1.5 means that the distance between one thread and the next is 1.5mm
