I know they are called lug nuts but shouldn't they be called lug bolts,,,because they are actuarially bolts? Any way my question is I went to order spacers from ECS today but I noticed the lug bolts in the kit were not the correct Porsche lug bolts. Where can I order the proper lug bolts in longer lengths and black.

Thanks

Paul

 

They are not call lug nuts, they are called lug bolts. The length of the bolt needed will depend on the thickness of your spacer. You can see they are called lug bolts here.

ECS does sell spacers with the correct type/size lug bolts.

 

look on ebay, get the ones that have the washer

 

I have a black set I used for less than 100 miles as I changed from 5mm to 8mm spacers. They will work with 5mm spacers. PM me if interested.

 

Thanks for your offer EMC2. I kinda want to stick with the ball type bolts with the washer. You have a great looking car and your garage is the bomb

Cheers

They might be the ball seat black lug bolts as shown in the Suncoast link I provided earlier - you'll have to ask him or maybe he'll respond.

 

Thanks guys. Yes that's exactly what they are, they have the correct ball seat for Porsche wheels. (i wouldn't use anything else ).
PM me if you'd like me to send some pics.

 

The bolts in any of our Porsche spacer kits are ball-seat lug bolts with swivel washers in the correct lengths for the spacers.

 

Kuhl,,,yep,,,right ones,,, ordered today. Thanks
