As you can see, the threads on the nut are flush to the base and has a good 1.5 inches depth with no blockage inside the wing. OEM wings have fiberglass covering the nut that gives them about an 3mm lip before the threads. When I tighten the wing bolt in it is stopping about 3 or 4 mm from seating fully.
It's the same result on the other side with all the bolts.
This is a precision porsche gt2 wing. There is nothing that would stop the bolt from seating wing-wise. I'm thinking that the top end threads on the bolt might not be machined properly and is seizing at the last thread. I'll give precision a call tomorrow but pretty sure he's gunna agree with my assessment. I'll test with a hardware bolt (if I can find one with the same size and thread count) to see how far I can install a standard bolt in to the gt2 wing and a hardware nut to see if it will fully install on the wing bolt.

do a quick check to rule out defective lugs, if the first set work fine and bottom out on the stock wing, they should work fine and bottom out on the PP GT2 wing. Otherwise you are correct that the lugs were not machined correctly. But that is a long shot.
