No, we are not talking about the lug bolts. (I dont think, anyway)
The discussion is, lug nuts on studs and spacers used or lug nuts on studded spacers.

I think you are talking about lug bolts and not studs. I think it is a late model car, right? I don't know whether Porsche ever shipped a spacer of this type on a later car...
Anyway, I wouldn't blindly accept BB feedback on studs when my car used bolts and was a later model car. I might hit up the PCA tech resources or perhaps a racing-oriented business with customers tracking late model cars. Back in the day I called KMR on these types of questions, if/when I didn't have local resources. I wonder if the folks at Racer's Edge would have an opinion. I think they may have appropriate experience. I have never met Karl in person, but he seems to have the right type of perspective for this type of question.

oh.. the original poster mentioned bolts... I thought it was his thread... plus I figured he might be asking about a later car and that might have bolts...

Now whether it is intended for track use, I don't know.

Since this thread has been reborn, I will post that I have been using 15mm rear spacers and 7mm fronts at the track with no problems. Longer wheels bolts on all corners.
