Can these be used on cars which use wheel BOLTS ?
Yes you can use this type of wheel spacers on cars which use wheel bolts like Porsche Boxster, 996, 997, Panamera and Cayenne, you will need to use the factory bolts to bolt wheel spacers to the wheel hub and then place the wheels over the new wheel studs that are stick out. Use the ½ type wheel nuts to secure your wheels. If you are extending the wheel out less than 15mm we offer another BOLT on system which is detailed below.

How to Measure For Wheel Spacers ?
1. Tools you need
To properly measure your wheel gap you will need a few simple tools:
• Measuring device with millimetre units
• Straight edge – Yard stick or similar
2. Check Your Gap
a. Place a straight edge flush with the face of the wheel and tire combination. Make sure the straight edge touches the tire in two spots to keep the straight edge even with the tire.
b. Use the measuring device to measure from the inside of the straight edge to the inner fender lip. (see diagram)
c. Make sure that the measurement is taken at the point where the wheel and tire is closest to the fender. For instance, on a car with a large amount of negative camber the tire and wheel may be closest at the front or rear edge of the fender.
