Any of you guys using these on your Boxster/S? I know the 550 edition has these. I want to use them on my 03 with 18" carrera wheels. Will the stock bolts be ok. How is the handling affected? Anyone use these spacers with RoW 030 suspension? Thanks

On the wheel bolt issue. The longer ones with the red collar are what we call the GT3 wheel bolts.
Friend with a 2000 2.7 has 996 wheels and 7mm spacers with the original wheel bolts. 5mm is a very thin shim.
I counted the number of turns on my stock 1997 and it was 7 1/2. Someone said the rule of thumb was 9 turns. I do not get that with my car.
