Wheels with Central Lock
Racing technology for the road. Wheels with a central lock are perfectly normal in motor sport, but are not common on normal roads.Instead of the central lock nuts conventionally used in motor sport, the wheel has an encapsulated central bolt, which is used to fasten it to the wheel hub.
Driving on a race circuit (e.g. sports driving school, club sport events)
Wheels are subjected to significantly higher stresses during extremely sporty driving – particularly when driving on race circuits – compared to driving on public roads. For this reason, all the instructions specified below must always be noted and followed for driving on race circuits.fAlways make enquiries with your authorized Porsche dealer about any other driving and maintenance instructions before driving on race circuits.
The central lock, like all chassis components, requires greater attention while driving on race circuits.fCheck the tightening torque of the central bolts before, if necessary during and after driving on a race circuit.fWhenever wheels are changed, apply some aluminum paste to the trapezoidal thread on the wheel hub or have a second set of greased screws on hand.fNever drive the vehicle without a central lock bolt in the hub.fAll central wheel lock components, such as the central bolt, wheel, wheel hub, wheel hex and brake disk must always be checked for wear and replaced if necessary after driving on a race circuit.
fAxis components subject to high loads must be replaced at intervals specified by Porsche . Always make enquiries with your authorized Porsche dealer about the current stipulations before driving on race circuits.fOther parts such as ball joints, rubber mounts, etc., where wear may result in modified vehicle handling, must be checked and if applicable replaced without delay.
Deferring inspection, maintenance and replacement measures can result in accidents.
This is particularly true if you are clocking up high mileage on race circuits . We recommend that you get an authorized Porsche dealer to carry out these measures.
Components can break or become damaged. Unsuitable wheel sizes or incorrectly dimensioned components in the hub area of accessory wheels , the use of spacers, etc. can impair the overall function of the wheel mounting.fOnly use wheel/tire combinations approved by Porsche.fUnder no circumstances should spacers be used.
Central Bolts
The central bolt and central bolt lock are safety-related components. Always check them for signs of wear and damage.fThe conical surface, trapezoidal thread and inner toothing of the central bolt must not be scratched or cracked.fReplace damaged central bolts.Only use the genuine Porsche central bolts allocated specifically to this vehicle model.fThe conical surface and trapezoidal thread on the central bolt must be perfectly clean.
Tightening torque for central bolts: 443 ftlb. (600 Nm).
Changing a Wheel
fGet an authorized Porsche dealer to change the wheel.
Information
The tools required for changing a wheel (e.g. jack, torque wrench) are not supplied as standard with the car. Your authorized Porsche dealer will be pleased to advise you.
Deferred inspection, maintenance and replacement measures
Inadequate screw connections when using unapproved components and wheels

Wheels, Tires
fApproval of tire and wheel sizes is granted based on extensive testing. By fitting tires that have been approved by Porsche, you can be sure that you have the best possible tires for your Porsche.The load capacity coefficient (e.g. “91”) and maximum speed code letter (e.g. “Y”) for permitted top speed are minimum requirements. When fitting new tires or changing tires: Please see the chapter “TIRES AND WHEELS” on page 244.fSnow chain clearance can only be guaranteed with the tires marked 1). Snow chains can only be fitted on the rear wheels. Observe state or province-specific laws regarding maximum speeds with fitted snow chains. Only use Porsche approved fine-link cross-type or edge chains.fYour Porsche dealer will be pleased to advise you about the current approval status for tires, wheels and snow chains.
