Default Wheel remvoval

Hello All, I had a blow out ( Driver's rear ) yesterday.
Now need to know what size torx wrench / bit fits these wheels.
2005 Carrera S w / 20 " wheels.

PS. Also need to decide to replace " in kind " or upgrade tires.
( Michelin 285 / 30 / 20 Pilot Super Sport )

Thanks

Holy thread revival. The lug bolts are 19mm. They should not be a torx or reverse torx. If you are meaning the security lug bolt that is just a standard Porsche item that should be in the tool kit in the frunk.

Thanks.... !

Any thoughts on the tires.... stick with the Super Sports ( all weather )
or go with Pilot cup 2's.
( I never take it out in weather ...any )

over the shaft to prevent scratching the wheels .
Good enough for as often as I remove the wheels.

I just wrap my socket with electrical tape, that works just fine.
