Wheel spacers 5mm
Do you need larger bults for a 5mm spacer in the rear of a narrow body 997s?

I would use larger lug bolts (my 5mm spacers came with larger bolts). I am sure some would say it's ok to use the standard length, but when torquing them it may put additional stress and stretch that may fatigue the bolt and lead to failure. Better safe than sorry IMO.

Wheel bolts w/ 5mm spacers
OEM option 5mm spacers are sold with the longer GT3 wheel bolts. The Bolts have a red ano finish on the bolt collar, instead of the gold finish on the shorter stock bolts.
