Lug bolt question
Hi,
The lug nut/bolts on my 2007 Cayman S look horrible (corrosion) and I'd like to replace them but I've been unable to figure out exactly what I need. If I google for something like "2007 porsche cayman s lug nuts" I get a ton of hits but I have no idea what specific size my car needs.
For example Pelican Parts lists 2 piece titanium lug bolt sets at sizes: 27mm, 35mm, 40mm, and 45mm.

Any guidance would be much appreciated!

I searched for my '06S and there are two sizes; 45mm is stock, 50mm is stock when used with 5mm factory spacers.

Should be the same for an '07.

I did measure it with electronic calipers - from the bottom of the bolt to the beginning of the head it is exactly 42mm. (which doesn't match any of the available options: 40mm, 45mm, 50mm)
I do appreciate being treated like an idiot though.

Looking at my box from World Motorsports, for all Porsche except GT3 are 27mm threaded no spacer. They look like the bolt on the far right on the image above with some non threaded shank.
Spacer:
5mm-9mm 35mm
10mm-14mm 40mm
15mm-20mm 45mm
275 for a set all four wheels shipped out the same day and they answer the phone for any questions.

Thank you so much for the helpful information everyone. My guess is that the previous owner replaced the originals with non-standard lug bolts. I feel kind of lucky that my wheels haven't fallen off. ;-)

When all else fails call Suncoast and they walk walk you through your question, especially on oddball stuff like non-OEM lug nuts. They carry the OEM stuff plus some great third party parts. I have no ties with them at all other than they always do a great job on parts for my 987.

Cayman r lug bolt replacement
I have the OEM lug bolts on my Cayman r. One locking one per wheel. A couple of track friends that have gt3's have suggested I change out the star patern locking bolts. What would I change them out for?
