i guess he doesnt realize this car does not use studs and lug nuts , they use bolts. he will realize it as soon as he spins off the first bolt lol.

And since the hub is threaded and designed to hold a bolt, i'm not sure how he is going to install press in Studs if that is his desire.

I guess what his real question is, with the standard bolt, how far does the bolt threads extend past the hub face on the inside of the hub ?

I think that You misunderstood the question. Screw in studs are a thing and lots of track car Boxsters use them.

The answer will vary slightly depending on which wheels and which brand of stud. Mine have a significant spacer, so I didn't have an easy reply.

well for starters, studs thread into the hub, they are not press-in.
