Looking to buy 7mm spacers. That is all I need to have my BBS RS wheels clear the turbo brakes I just installed on my '86 NA. I read that I can get away with the stock studs for that thickness of the spacer...can somebody else confirm that?

Thanks!

Thanks! Do you know whether I can run these with the stock studs or I need longer ones?

I run stock lug nuts with street wheels and these spacers, so yes you should be fine.

The rule of thumb regarding spacers is to have at least one full turn of the bolt exposed after tighening the nut.
On my Boxster S I can run the 5mm spacers in front w/o any problem but I have to use different bolts for the 15mm on the rears.

The other rule of thumb I have heard is to have 5 complete turns on the nut/bolt. What if the nuts are not opened but closed like the stock ones...I cannot see the bolt in this case?

I put some 7mm spacers on the rear of my 924S, and I was able to get 7 complete turns of the lugnut with the stock studs. I've heard the 5 turn rule also.
