2. Do they have to be bolt-centric if the hub-centric fingers on the spacer lock into place with fingers on the hub, which would not allow the spacers to move?

I guess I dont understand why they need to be bolt-centric if the are hub-centric
The spacers should be machined in a way that the bolt openings match with Porsche's 130x5 specification. This ensures that the spacer and wheel cannot move under force. In addition, it's ideal to have the spacer mount securely to the hub. That way, instead of the spacer spinning while you're trying to line up the bolt openings of the wheels with those of the hub, it stays in place.
