I don't see any harm with running the slightly longer bolts with no spacer. The only issue would be if the bolts came out the back of the rotor and interfered with another part f the car, preventing the wheel from turning. That happened on my RS4 where I removed the 10mm spacer and forgot to changed for the shorter bolts. The wheels wouldn't turn as the bolt ends came in contact with the spindle and prevented the wheel from rotating.

Yeah, my car doesn't seem to have any problems and it appears the long bolts have been on the car for awhile. Like I said I'm assuming the spacers are gone because the car is super low and even with stock tire sizes and plenty of negative camber I'm super close to the fenders. Thanks again to all. Love this place! Best JBO

Just FYI. Whether or not 997 gt3 or 996 gt3 are one and the same. For some reason doing a trackday at thill after 1st session lost all 4 special key lugnuts because they were not trq'd at at all by my mechanic during pre prep (**** happens). I towed the car there with my 955 pepper s. The lugnuts were the same for the 6gt3. Keep tracking : ). Mike

There are two separate size lug nuts for the 997 GT3. If there was only one size I wouldn't have wasted folks time. Once again I'm grateful to the community. Best JBO
