I have been looking around but can seem to find the correct info for the right length of bolts needed for using 5mm spacers.

Any help would be great

technically, you'd need some bolts that are 5mm longer. I have some bolts that i got with my wheels with tirerack, and they're a bit longer and don't have an issue with the spacers. But i'd reccomend investing in a set of tuner lugs/nuts. Trying to put your wheel back on with a spacer on is a super huge pain.

 

i figured that trick out, put the spacer on the rim first and just drop the rim on the rotor, you cant mess it up.

 

That usually only works once as the spacer will end up sticking to the rotor.

Before you put the spacer on, if it dosen't already have some small bevels on the back side that contacts the rotor, I'd grind some in. it will make it hugely easier to remove the spacers when the time comes. 'Don't know why some manufacturers don't do that. I had a hell of a time getting my 15mm spacers off. Also, some anti seize or maybe a very light smear of whel bearing grease on some surfaces will also help down the road.
