[s-cars] Studs and Nuts!

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Ah, that is another double-edged sword.  I think you'll find that the
problem with fitment is if you don't go with the Porsche -style nuts, the
other chrome ones tend to have (I believe) a 21 mm head, which (depending on
wheel brand) won't allow the socket to pass through (I know).  Not the case
with Porsche nuts with 19mm heads.  Interesting WRT 24mm vs. 28mm ball
seat -- I'll have to check mine when I get home.

Suggest test-fitting in any case.

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)
