I was once told that lug bolts are individual for each wheel set - that is, if you get aftermarket wheels with offsets different from OEM, you should get different bolts. Also, lug bolts are wear items and should be replaced every few years, especially if you're swapping wheels regularly at the track.

So, I can't imagine that you would want to take bolts from a 991 and put them onto a 997?? (Just my $0.02)

no, that's not how wheel offsets work.

you ultimately just want to check your thread engagement. there are actually longer bolts from porsche to account for spacers that were included on some cars

997.1 GT3 (not sure about other models) came with a 5mm spacer in the rear. If I remember correctly, all of my wheel bolts are the GT style with GT stamped on the bolt. While I’m sure the others would probably work, I’d likely order a fresh set and know what you’re getting will be new and work for your car specifically.
