Default Porsche Ball Seat Nuts

What spec would be compatible with a set of 5-split spoke alloy rims off a 2002 Boxster?

Is there a standard spec lug nut?

Yes aircooled 911 lug nuts. I bought 10 for my car to install 25mm spacers with studs. Also have a set of Porsche black locking lugs for 993 if you want locks. I sold those wheels so have lugs for sale. Here's link:

I'm located in Ontario...actually am looking to mount a set of 16" staggered Boxster rims to a 20mm thick adapter (not a spacer so the longer bolt is not a requirement).

I was advised that regular-sized ball seat lug bolts will be OK. Can anyone confirm this as I'm not sure what the thickness of the wheel is and how much of the bolt will protrude beyond the inside of the wheel?

Thanks!

What vehicle are you installing them on?

A MK2 VW, 4x100 to 5x130 hub centric adapters.

As stated, the adapter is 20mm so I need to make sure that the bolt does not protrude beyond the adapter plate.

Thanks once again,

Yes you do be very careful.

Thanks, the fall-time install was flawless and continues to be trouble-free ...very happy with the outcome.

Another question: are the parts threads a good place to source a set of 16" Cup Design 93 Winterrad wheels?

Ideally a full set of 7"'s (993.362.114.00) , but more realistically a staggered pair with rear-8"'s (993.362.116.01)?

Thanks very much...
