Material. if not 7075, and therefore 6k series, drop your torque a tad to account for this added solid plate's thermal expansion. That 6k series AL in those kind of thicknesses have displacements of as much as 0.2mm between 20deg and 60deg (e.g. track day). Zero.point.two sound little but translated into force it creates, the stress on the assembly can be kinda great. Threads are made of steel so obviously the wheel may potentially crack. (loll 986forum branded explosions, ppl dying, apocalypse)
If you don't use the spec'ed Porsche lug bolts (those w/ flex R14 ball), then loosen up the recommended torque by about 2~4ft. Therefore 92'ish. Well, if you plan on getting those wheels occasionally hotter than south summers mind you. All i can recommend you from this end.
Should be perfectly fine for street use. Adjust torque every seasons additionally.
Disclosure: I know nothing about cars, should all be fine as long as it looks good
