I think you have to be careful purchasing spacers with built in studs.

Here are a few things to check before purchasing:

1. Are the studs, in the spacer, aftermarket or to Porsche specifications?

2. Do the nuts that tighten down the spacer to your hub, end up being flush or slightly above the spacer when tightened, as with normal Porsche lug nuts?

First question: I bought spacers from a reputable source and the studs ended up being aftermarket, i.e., you had to find aftermarket studs if you needed additional length to fit the choosen wheel. In the end I just pressed out the aftermarket studs, threw them away and secured longer Porsche studs to go all the way from my hub through the spacer and wheel. This was probably a waste of money.

Second question: I didn't know of a special lug nut, nor did the supplier, that was turned down slightly, i.e., shorter, to eliminate the problem of having the lug nut stick up slighly above the spacer when tightened.

If your were using Fuchs wheels, then you don't have a problem, but if your using Cookie Cutters, with a flat surface that is susposed to mate to the flat surface of the spacer, then your toast.
