[s-cars] Studs and Nuts!

[Steve Powers]

the 24mm vs. 28mm difference appears to be consistent with my
observations. this measurement is the outside diameter and is
different because the arc shoulder of the Porsche bolt is 90 degrees
vs. what appears to be 45-60 degrees on the Audi.

while I don't have any arc gauges handy, the shoulders on both appear
to have the same radius of curvature. the only potential problem is
that your lug holes might be drilled too small and not allow the
Porsche lugs to fit (or be tightened - they're 19mm)
