I'm not being super clear and hopefully other wheels have more clearance. That set has no socket large enough to get around the locking key.
Other keys may be different and other wheels may have more space, and I may be the only one who loves the 16's
I love the amount of tire between the rim and the road, especially on the roads around NYC. I have ruined 3 BMW Pirelli run flats this year on pot holes.
Are the 16's best for the track, probably not, but I have a ZR1 track car for that. In 4 days of ownership, I am absolutely loving the little white car.
I just ordered what appears to be the"official" PORSCHE key set. A bit less than $200.00. If you can wait a few days, it may be for sale "only used once on Sunday" before the end of the week.

The picture above is my driver side wheel bolt.
The rear ones are even deeper. :ah:
