    The little screws are more for convenience...they hold the spacer to the rotor/hub. They keep the spacer in place when mounting the wheel and when removing the wheel. If you don't use the screws, then the spacer may stick to the back of the wheel or simply fall. If the spacer falls into the wheel, it could scratch or otherwise damage it. The lug bolts hold the wheel, spacer, and rotor firmly to the hub. --Brian Then I can do without screw with no problem (unless removing a wheel).... thanks Qship, now I am in calm.

    Today I have been mounting spacers. Impossible for me unscrew little screws on hub. I have installed spacers with no screw, but with 130Nm on longer bolts. I just hope no problem. What do you think?

    Do you really think Porsche publish TSB with no exhaustive checking? I really dont believe. What you say is sense but TSB says it. However, as we are in whole doubt, I have bought the complete kit with longer bolts. No concern money, only I am seeking for curiosity and learning.

    good job!! However I still think there is no mistake in TSBs, page 7 of both TSB is for size wheels that require longer bolts. In 18" winter tires, longer bolts are required and not in summer tires. I am not sure if I am thinking wrong but this is what TSB says!

    If you use 5 mm spacer (with any wheel or tire) your existing bolts will be 5 mm too shorter. This means that there will be 5 mm less thread contact to hold the wheel on. Porsche sells the 5 mm spacers with the longer (5 mm longer) bolts. I would not use the 5 mm spacers without the 5 mm longer bolts. That TSB part is for size wheels that require longer bolts. Note that correct contact to hold the wheel depends on deep throat and offset, what I mean is standard bolts can be approved to hold wheels with 5mm spacers in 225/40/18-265/35/18 but not with another. So I understand. Could you contrast to Porsche?

    Hi loren, pay attention to TSB, footnote 5 (only with connection with longer bolts..) IS NOT MARKED for 225/40/18 7,5 /50 265/35/18 9/52 only 2 (for boxster from MY98) and 3 (remove spacers when mounting spare wheel) ARE MARKED. I am convinced longer bolt is not required for this wheel size.
  7. valcax
    Well, In mycase 5mm f/r only approved, but I have question about bolts. I understand there is no necessary to replace standard bolts for longer bolts as footnote 5 is not marked. What can you tell me?
  8. valcax
    Thanks Loren, Can you tell me thickness approved? I have not clear.
  9. valcax
    I want to know the spacers thickness accredited for Boxster MY99. I know 5mm is accredited cause I have seen these spacers in tequipment kit, but 17mm (for rear) is written in Owners Manual MY00. Do you know with accurate which spacers are accredited for a boxster MY99? (front and rear) wheels: front: 225/40 ZR18 7,5/50 rear: 265/35 ZR18 9/52 Best regards.

    In CoochasTT Car I can not see almost difference, but in BennyCga there is a visible difference... SURE BOTH ARE 5MM?
  11. valcax
    What is this little silver under spacers? screws? what use? http://coochas.com/pics/5mmspacers/5mmkit.jpg
  12. valcax
    Someone can tell me why porsche sells longer bolts with 5mm spacers? I have seen that until 7mm standard bolts are used, more than 7mm longer bolts. only for rise price of spacers? or any reason? I want to buy 5mm spacers with standard bolts.. any problem?
