Wheel bolts
would these bolts work on a .1 997 C2S with aftermarket wheels?
I have TE37 which need a ball seat like the OEM wheels. Our studs are 28mm and these are 27. I wonder if that makes a significant difference. Also our bolts are 19mm hex head. This is 17mm hex head which I don't think should be an issues
any thoughts? I just want that burnt titanium look and cannot find any

Make sure you get the R14 radius nuts for Porsche wheels.
Torque for studs are 26ft lb with blue locktite at installation.
Wheel torque is still 96 ft lb.

Silver wheel bolts (up to model year 2011) = 96 ftlb. or 118 ftlb. also permitted retroactively.
Silver wheel bolts (as of model year 2012) = 118 ftlb.)
Black wheel bolts = 118 ftlb.

Probably 106 came from being right in the middle of 96 to 118. 106 being a happy medium between the old spec that was around for decades, and the brand new one. I honestly forgot where I got 106 but I must have felt good about it because I have the number written on my torque wrench!

Go studs! Best <$200 I've spent on the car hands down. Mounting wheels is a treat, makes using spacers simple, AND it makes cleaning in the bolt hole when washing so much easier.
Mine are Apex competition 65mm Race studs and Pro series nuts. $167.97 shipped.
I like to give credit where due and I am a happy customer.

Follow your owner's manual. I just wanted to say, for the sake of the OP, that the torque specs have changed, and you'll not find it in your owners manual of an older car. I shouldn't have specififed a number if I wasn't sure. 22 foot pounds seems like a huge jump, eh?In the old days I just stood on the tire iron for a second or two,
so 96 seems like nothing to me.
