OK, so this begs the question, how thick are the spacers you are using? With the 15mm spacers there shouldn't be enough threads on the stock M12x1.5 studs to work correctly and safely. Dang I'm confused here, or are you saying the lug nut holes in the rims are deeply recessed enough to negate the need for longer studs? To meet the minimum safety standards for spacers you've got to be able to thread the lugs on at least six threads worth of the studs.

I saw some nuts like that, but I wanted to make sure I have 8 turns to tight. I might be over doing it but I do lay a few more ftlb's on them around 350. I was temped to do both, but the guy's from H&R, make them for Porsche, they said 7 was enough.

It's just cause we love you man, just count the revolutions, I have been mislead by others before, we just want you to be safe, as in all 4 wheels on car.

Yup, just concerned about your safety capp and that of others doing the same wheel fitment, having a wheel "take a vacation" on you is no fun and does tons of damage.
