So...here's what I'm thinking. There are two wheel studs broke on the back wheels (one to a side) and one broke on the front. I plan on ordering replacements and new wheel bearings (I've read that you can't replace the studs without the wheel bearings falling apart) and new 21mm spacers for the back--the kind with integral studs. Does that sound like the best plan?

That's a factory hub centric spacer, might need to knock it from the face of the wheel to remove.

this web page should help you find the best tyres for your classic Porsche.

https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/cla...s/porsche.html

generally it is Michelin or Pirelli at present.

I was able to remove the spacers (a combination of heat, Blast, and blunt force trama). I've got the cookie cutters on and bought tires the same size as the originals. I know many people like the Cup 1s but I really like the looks of the cookie cutters.
