Anyone figured out a substitution for the Porsche wheel studs that might be cheaper.

I need some

901.331.671.01 72mm
911.331.671.00 65mm

To make my wheel spacers fit with late offset wheels on an early offset 951.

From Pelican this is $145 of studs. Just curious if there is another option?

I picked up 20 72mm verbus studs (90133167101) from Ebay for $5.50 each, I'm not sure if the seller has more but you can PM me for more info.

+1 on doing some searching. I picked mine up (80mm) for about the same price each. Either way, it may be a bit expensive for wheel studs, but removing the rear hubs to install them is the hard/expensive part. I think I spent about $500 to have my shop do it, because I didn't want to risk damaging the studs on install.

Pormgb, what kind of wheels are those?

Cole

I'm not too worried about the install. (I just finished rebuilding the top end, torque tube, clutch and interior)

What are you guys using for lug nuts?

I used the stock alloy lug nuts with no problems. If it was a track car, I would probably go with the 356 open-ended lug nuts.

Cole, I have some absurdly long ones on the rear of my 951 -- I could trade you, if you'll cover shipping.

Done my rear studs in about an hour, the hardest part is reinstalling the parking brake cable and mechanism. The parking brake shoes,mechanism and cable are removed to allow enough space to get the longer studs in without removing the hub. I used the following link, very helpful.

With regards to wheel nuts, I used steel open ended nuts from my hub centric spacers, quite cheap on Ebay.
