The shorter studs are correct for the steel wheels, and the longer ones are used to attach the alloy wheels.

Georgerud is right. Bruce stone usually has a set. If you buy repros, make sure they are the right ones.

They seemed to work fine, but they are not the $10(used) or $20(new) bolts that are official Porsche brand. Are they less safe or just cheaper but safe? I wanna save money but not die an early death due to four bolts coming off at the wrong time. |
