Does anyone know what the OEM stud length for the front and rears? I am trying to install new wheels soon and need to know the actual length and add 1 inch to it.

thanks for any help

I measured the stud on the wheel. It is 30 mm long. My question, how will a spacer work when the actual stud length is longer than the spacer? ( 1.18 " )

Is a spacer actual wider than 1" ?

Here's a basic list of sizes used as original:

45mm - 944 83-86, 924S (front); 924S, 944 85.5-89, 944S, 944S2, 944 Turbo, 968 (rear)
50mm - 944 85.5-89, 944S, 944S2, 944 Turbo, 968 (front)
52mm - 911 65-89 (front and rear)
66mm - 911 Turbo 76-89 (front)
66mm - 944 83-85.1 (rear w/factory spacer)
72mm - 911 Turbo 76-89 (rear)

Measure old stud lengths to be sure you are chosing the right part. Priced per each.

I actual found the data posted above from paragon.

Question, can the wheel studs be removed without removing the hub. I was told yes on standard american cars, but does Porsche have a notch on the backside of the hub to allow for this?

Good luck on the up comming race in OCT.

on the front, the hub needs removed.

on the back i believe it manners if your steel or aluminum control arm. i hear there is a hole, but on my aluminum arms i didnt see one... i could be wrong.

I can remove them from the rear if you pull the e-brake off. There is a square hole in the bottom of the alum control arm. Reinstalling the e-brake is a pain in the butt.

interesting... i will have to try this

Timely topic....
How did you guys get the studs off?
Did you use any loctite when setting the new ones?
I'm thinking about adding 15mm spacers to each corner.

Lemming

The easiest way is with a press (hubs removed). Otherwise a two lb sledge works, just put an old steel lug on top so you don't damage the threads. Heating the hub first makes it much easier.

I've never used loctite when putting new ones in.

I have 15mm spacers in back and 25mm spacers in front.

Tim-

Have you rolled your fenders?

Lemming

No, but YMMV Remember, my car is not a 944 but a 924s with all sorts of different parts on it, hence Frankencar Turbo S parts will be installed this winter
