Furthermore, you are ignoring the variation in wheels and tires on the same model in certain cases. Did you know that on a Porsche Cayenne GTS the standard wheel/tire is a 275/45/20 on a 9.5" wheel. The optional factory sport design wheel is 10" wide with a 295/35/21 tire and a more aggressive offset. This is no different than adding a spacer. All manufacturers work within certain constraints, even on high end cars. Best thing to do is to become educated so you can know where you can change things for the better and where you can't.

Yes, I would get extended bolts. When you buy macht schnell you get them with the spacers and I would assume the same about other companies.

sry to bring this back from the dead.
i just received my MS spacers in 10mm and 12mm. I was surprised to see the new lug bolts found in the 12mm and 10mm sets are exactly the same length and width. I was expecting the bolts in the 12mm set to be slightly longer. Is this the same for you guys?? Thanks! |

Every time I've bought spacers I've received longer bolts. Only when I had 7mm spacers I was able to use the same ones. You need longer ones
