If you are not using spacers 65mm is most likely what you'll want. As always a measurement is best to be sure.

>> does this left one you show work with oem wheels?

Yes but the nose stick out too far on some wheels. The offset and seat depth on the Porsche wheels varies. You really need to measure and determine the result that way.

Thanks Bill,

Does anyone here use 65mm studs with stock GT3 wheels?
If they stick out a bit for the track wheels (Volk) I do not mind, but I they stick out on the OEM ones it would look goofy.

What nuts do you sell with these, are the closed or not?

A dealer has them here: (80mm)

http://www.bildon.com/catalog/Detail...10&SubNav=none

Also to be clear, its the 90mm that sticks out of the wheels not the 65mm. All of our 65mm studs are tucked into the wheels nicely. 80mm are usually for use with spacers and 90mm are for competition use where pits stops and/or repetitive wheel changes are

Are the 65mm studs long enough for stock wheels with 5mm spacers on the rear?

Photos will be appreciated. Which lug nuts go along with these studs and stock RS rims?

OK here are some of the requested pics... MAXIMIZE your browser to get the full 1024x768 view.

#1
997 GT3 with our 50, 65, 80, 80 and 90mm BUllet studs installed (with 5mm spacer)
#1
http://www.apexcompetition.com/pub/dscn2804.jpg

#2
Same thing at different angle (yes there are 2x 80mm studs installed)
#2
http://www.apexcompetition.com/pub/dscn2805.jpg

#3
With GT3 wheel on to show stud "depth" (note 65mm is best)

#4
and at an angle...

#5
Moving to the front wheel. Note we removed one of the 80mm and replaced with the proper 65mm (black) race stud. (8 'oclock position)
#5
http://www.apexcompetition.com/pub/dscn2812.jpg

#6
and with the nuts on, different angle
http://www.apexcompetition.com/pub/dscn2813.jpg

#7
And again... you can see the 50mm stud (4 o'clock) barely makes it

#8
Proper setup. Our 65mm race studs in all 5 positions. (GT3 front)

http://www.apexcompetition.com/pub/dscn2816.jpg

#9
Multiple nut choices. Spherical Porsche nuts and Conical (aftermarket wheel) nuts. In Black Oxide and Zinc.

We're finishing a new website to sell these direct to customers. Should be up soon. If you want any immediately you can either hit the ebay site or the dealer site linked to elsewhere in this thread.

We can also do pics of a 996 C2 with and without wheel spacers if interested....
