Default Lug nut length for 15mm spacers

I’m planning on getting 15mm spacers front and rear and based on existing lug nut measurements, I would need 43mm replacement lug nuts. Stock length is 28mm plus 15mm for the spacer.

Would 40mm work?

This brand stance magic has the spacer’s, but only have 40mm in silver ball radius.

any help would be appreciated!

There are a few vendors that sell wheel studs . For my 996 C4 I went with Rennline . I told them my model and that I am using stock wheels with 15mm spacers and they sold me a kit . Kit included the studs and nuts . Installed with red Loctite and so far no issues . I am sure all vendors are similar .

Mattrsuppyco, in case this helps, here is my real-world experience. I'm using 15mm spacers at all four wheels on my 2003 Boxster S, and I am using Veritek 45mm lug bolts. The lug bolts that came with my spacers were the same thread length as these Veritek lug bolts but the bolts that came with my spacers had two features I did not like. The two issued the lug bolts that came with the 15mm spacers had were: The head of the bolt was a 17mm head rather than a stock 19mm head which required a different size socket or lug wrench to remove/install the bolts, and the ball seat portion of the lug bolt between the head and threads of the bolt was fixed rather than being able to rotate like the stock bolts. These Veritek lug bolts addressed both of the issues and they work great and look great and I am very happy with the purchase.

In case the Amazon link does not upload, the Amazon product title of the Veritek lug bolts follows and the current price for the set is $79.99:

Set of 20 Veritek 14x1.5mm 45mm Thread R14 Chrome Ball Seat Washer Lug Bolts for Porsche Factory Wheels
