If you add 7mm spacers then your bolts need to be 7mm longer.
The spacer kits Porsche sells come with all the hardware to safely attach them.

I actually bought the H&R 7mm spacers (for 987) through another dealer and I specifically told them that I need extended bolts for aftermarket wheels. Then it came with the ball seat bolts, they then told me those are the bolts H&R recommend for aftermarket wheels. Just wanted to make sure that aftermarket wheels for 987 uses ball seats. Thanks
