Do I need longer bolts if I install 21mm spacers?
Hi:
I have 8 inch wheels with 70mm offset on the rear of my Boxster. The car looks little funny with the wheels little to close in. I am planning on putting 20mm spacers. Do I need to get 20mm longer bolts too?

We'll, I guess you learn something new every day - I had no idea that the Boxster used wheel bolts. 
Since my previous reply was of no help what so ever, I have edited it for clarity. Hopefully you've been able to locate the proper size.

Tomasz, I assume that your have bolts rather than studs on your Boxster. You can check with Porsche but as of last year they only had slightly longer ones that go with the GT3 5mm spacers.
You can get longer bolts directly from H&R. Check their web site for contact information. The downside to H&R's bolts are that you have to remove the moving collar from your existing bolts to use on theirs. They may have changed this by now. Good luck.
