How much do I need to take out off the end of the porsche wheel bolts so that they won't foul the rear brake springs? Is it worth shortening the ones on the front wheels as well or can the disk brakes handle the extra length?

i dont know if it was the right thing or not but i had a set of wheel bolts that went too far into the brakes so i just bolted the wheel to the hub while it was off the car, got out the small angle grinder and carefully ground them flush with the inside of the hub...
