I'm new to Boxsters, and familiarizing myself with the car, but if the bolts are so short, that 3-5mm will not give enough threads, then that would be a first for me to encounter. Going over that amount, you will probably need extended bolts to be safe, but I doubt that's stopped people from going larger, which I don't recommend unless there are enough threads. Depending on the pitch of the threads, you should get at least more than 5 full turns, but I've seen Honda guys run 4. Without our 6 cylinder torque, I would play it safe. Experts: chime in?

You can find some reasonably priced spacers on eBay for your '98:

4 Pcs 7mm Hubcentric Wheel Spacers 71 6mm Hub 5x130 5LUG Hub Centric | eBay

Can't vouch for the quality, however. Wouldn't take the chance of using the stock 45mm wheel bolts. I'd opt for some 52mm ones.
