Default MY '24 Wheel Specs

Previous yr specs:
Hub Bore- 60.1
PCS- 5x120
Thread Size- M14x1.5

I've never owned a car that used lug bolts so pls don't flame me, I've searched CL and found a few discussions re '24 wheel specs but nothing definitive. Considering new wheels, and no one i've inquired with has '24 specs. Some have even asked me to measure (i would have but can't find my calipers). Question, is the only thing thats changed for MY'24 wheel specs is going from lug nuts to bolts? TIA🤙🏽

I didn't know the '24 changed to lug bolts. I don't like them either, but my ex-Porsche had them. I bought 2 long 'studs' to insert them when removing a wheel, to avoid damaging the caliper paint... which is very easy to do. You still have to be careful with lug nuts, but at least you can remove all nuts without the wheel falling off, then carefully slip it out. Wonder why the change. Nuts are much better, since they only have an axial load, and not a radial one too. Therefore, I bet the torque is quite a bit higher as well. The Porsche required 118 ft/lbs; wonder how much for the much heavier LC now.

103.3 ft/lb per my owner's manual. Calling my svc agent re purchasing necessary tools (jack, guide pin, wheel bolt socket/wrench, and jack handle). Why not incl is frustrating.
