If you use oem spacers smaller are 5mm and they come with longer bolts. If non oem and up to 3mm you can use your existing bolts no problem.

Note here it says "...you reuse your stock bolts."

This was the same information I received when I installed my OE 5mm kit.

Between you and me its kind of ok to use 5mm spacers without the bolts but not ideal. Workshop manual insists on the longer bolts.

IIRC the "standard" bolts are 45mm, so if you run spacers just add that thickness to 45mm and that should be your bolt length
Measure from the "flat" that aluminum washer mates to, to the end of the bolt

I am aware the link I sent you was not for OE spacers, hence my reference to OE spacers in the post. Today's Porsche 5mm kit for the 911/Boxster/Cayman does include bolts. However, when I bought mine for the 996, it did not. I trust my memory as much as you trust your eyes.
