Does any use longer screws to attach the spacer to the disc/hub.... I've not and wondered if it actually makes any difference.
 
Yes, I do, purely for peace of mind. The standard thread length is, I think, 28 mm and I've got 7 mm spacers on the front and 15 mm on the back. So I've got 35 mm and 43 mm bolts respectively - they came with the spacers.
 
Milo, I am not sure of the exact spec but you from a safety perspective are supposed to be able to apply a certain amount of turns to the wheel nut for it to be considered safe. depending on what size spacers would dictate what length bolt you need. too short and its not safe too long and you risk catching something being the wheel. :thumb:
 
General rule with Porsche spacers is 5mm is fine. Anything bigger, use hubcentric and longer studs to suit.
