Default 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.

in case others are wondering...looks like lug torque specs remain the same as standard length OEM bolts at 118ft/lbs.

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.
