I want to purchase a couple of the Lug Bolt guide tools. My question is - Are the wheel studs on the C8 M12X 1-1/2 or M14X 1-1/2.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Yep, there were several posts saying it was 21 mm! But 22 mm is correct. Was first looking for my "plastic lug socket" I have used since my C6 BUT in addition to being hard to find, they are expensive and decided 140 ft-lbs required for the C8 could be too much for that material. This is what I bought. Hopefully won't need plastic sandwich gas covering the lug to avoid marring the surface as I used prior!
For the OP, just received my lug guides from Reverse Logic. They are shorter than those I bought for my Grand Sport, but will work fine!

The Titan where I buy most "stuff" - Amazon. That plastic socket, last time I saw it for sale was in a Porsche aftermarket website and it was $35. Can't be used with a powered wrench and frankly that hard plastic (if you can fine one) might not hold up to 140 ft-lbs, IMO.
Reverse Logic has two different lengths available for the C8.
130mm and 200mm. Which ones did you buy?
Just looked at the Reverse Logic site and I bought the only thing that came up, ~125 mm. Did not see a way to order longer. My GS are ~200 mm.
However I felt the ~200 mm were too long! Was concerned, especially on the heavier 12 inch wide rear rims to allow weight be placed even near the far end! The ~125 mm length will work fine.
PS: Looked again and saw the extended length. They are ~$20 more for 3 and I'm happy with the shorter length.
