Default Longer Wheel Bolts & Studs?

I have decided to keep my BBS 1 Piece Magnesiume wheels, for the front I will need to use 5mm spacers, the BBS wheel is thicker threw the middle than the stock wheels.

Does anybody know where i could get a set of 77 to 80mm bolts.

The other option is to go with wheel studs, again 80mm would be needed,
BBS sells 100mm studs but they would stick out to much when using the stock wheels.

Does anybody have experience with wheel studs.. different types, wheel locks, screwed in, pressed in and where to get them?

Why not get the factory GT3 wheel spacers/bolts/retaining screws/locks as needed?

the stock bolts are not long enough, even with the 5mm spacers

In that case, your best bet may be to have Bob Woodman make up a set for you. He can 'convert' a stud kit into a wheel bolt kit.

BTW, got more info on the Moton ride height issue.

Lex at Moton USA in Atlanta says you can run stock ride height with the Motons; it's the regular 996s and TTs that need to be slammed. From what I can gather, optimal ride height is about 1.5" lower than stock. . . but we should be able to run stock height if needed.
