Its not a point of bolt length, as the mounting face of the wheel isn't increased of width...

However, you'll want to recheck your fitment; as 8" wide wheel at a 0mm et will SURELY poke past the fender... a lot past.

You're not going to have an issue with bolt size like the fox just pointed out. With such a low offset wheel the outside face of the wheel is going to be positioned way outside the wheel arch. it will look like an exaggerated hot wheels low-rider. If that's what you want fine, but if this is a daily driver I wouldn't venture down this path.
