    so what size would You guys go with 5mm spacers?
    and what size would You go with 10mm spacer? will 35mm bolt be ok? or maybe 40mm?

    It says right on the site....

    To determine the correct bolt size, add the width of the spacer to your stock lug bolt size (28mm for OEM applications)

    5mm and thicker would need extended lug bolts. The stock lugbolt shank is 27-28mm long, just add 5mm to that and that's what you need for the spacers.

    its extremely important you get the extended bolt. I know someone who's wheel fell of due to a lack of correct bolts and he's still paying for the lawsuit that ensued after the wheel hit a car..
