Lug Nut Torque Specs with 15mm Spacers?
Hi all. Just installed 15mm spacers on all 4 corners of my 2014 4S. For this time of year in the Pacific Northwest, I’m running all season tires on 20” OEM RS Spyder wheels. 15mm is subtle but give a more aggressive stance and the wheel “fills” the wheel well better.
I needed to go with longer lug bolts. Standard length is 45mm shaft (30mm threaded length). I needed to go with 60mm length (45mm threaded length) to accommodate the 15mm spacers.
Lug bolt torque spec for standard length is 118 ft/lb. Is this the same torque spec with extended length bolts? The spacers came with a chart showing different torque specs based on the diameter of the bolt. This is genetic chart and is not Panamera specific. I’m attaching a picture of this chart.
Looking for help to ensure I’ve got the right torque specs.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I would figure that anything more would risk a thread strip on the hub/rotor since that remains unchanged. Your bolts may change in length and strength, but not where it grasp on to.
