I'm considering replacing the OEM lug nuts with titanium and I need to know if I have spacers. I think I recall being told the car had 5mm spacers on the rear, but I'm not positive. Short of taking the car to a shop and having a lug removed and measured is there a way to determine if I have spacers. I think the data sheet under the hood (photo attached) has a lot of information, but I'm not sure if that information is there. Any help would be appreciated.

 

you can remove one of the lug bolts and measure the thread part should be 28mm for stock length with no spacer.

 

I know I can, but I'm trying to determine if I can find that out from the data sheet without having to take the vehicle to a shop to have a lug removed.

 

Post a pic from behind the wheel. You should easily be able to identify a spacer.

 

All you need to do is look between the spokes at the hub - you'll be able to see if there is a spacer. Don't need to remove anything. Post a picture and we can tell.

BTW - option code XRP is for 5mm spacers so if they haven't been removed you do have spacers based on your build sticker. The option would be for 5mm spacers on all 4 wheels.

 

Thanks...I've attached photos. I hate to spend the money to order lug nuts only to find they don't fit.

 

Yes = picture shows a spacer.

 

Great...really appreciate the help.

 

5mm variety most common for OEM.

@JonHunt - which Ti bolts are u going with? with security lock sets?

 

I'm not sure. Tikore looks outrageously expensive, so they are probably out. I'm so unsure of the purchase I may not do anything. I just looked at Acer and they aren't asking about spacers, so that makes me a little nervous.
I've emailed them. ACERLug Titanium Lug Bolts for the Porsche 911 (1999-2016) except for GT3 which we sell under a different item number. Direct replacement for OEM Porsche part 99636120301

 

My eyeballs say 5mm spacers as well. As far as to which bolts to get, look at my post here: http://rennlist.com/forums/997-forum...olts-5.html#73

There are gorgeous and much more affordable... plus they are made in America by World Motorsports, one of our sponsors. I also have 5mm spacers and purchased the longer bolts made for those as well (the ones they list as being appropriate for 5mm-9mm spacers). Here's a link to the ones I bought: http://www.world-motorsports.com/por...-bolt-set.html.

 

+1 on the World Motorsports ones. I have a set of their closed end nuts on my studded RUF car and a set of their bolts on my Cayenne. You may want to verify of those spacers have a hub-centric flange on them to keep the wheel centered at high speed. Some people say they're not needed at only 5mm but the right way to do it is with hub centric spacers. If yours aren't, Adaptec Speedware is one of the only companies that makes hub-centric spacers in the narrower widths, like 5mm and 7mm. If you know what you're looking for, you can tell whether the spacers are hub-centric by removing the wheel cspbsnd looking at how the hub, spacer, and wheel are mated together, or do that and post another pic inside the bore of the wheel, and we can tell you.

By the way, your car likely has lug bolts and not lug nuts, unless someone changed them to a stud kit.
