Spacers and wheel bolts

[stainesy]

M14 x 1.5
Standard bolts are 27mm so 35mm bolts will do fine

saying that though even without the spacer only realy get about 4 turns of the bolt. should i get 40mm ones to be safe? am going to fit a 10mm spacer on one side at the rear to even it out. should i use 40mm bolts for that?

40mm for 10mm spacer
and 35mm for 5mm spacer

ok sweet so these are the ones for the front with 5mm spacers then? i no they are but want to make sure before i click buy.

Wrong fit, you need taper for aftermarket alloys

NOOOOOOOOOOOO i just bought and payed for them.
the ones on the car now are lik that. and the wheel holes are rounded inside.

this is my wheel bolt hole and a original wheel bolt in. they seem to fit perfect.
is that tapered?
or are they ok?

Hard to see from the photo but aftermarket alloys normally use taper fit bolts, I think your using the wrong bolts.

Is it 100% that the bolts holes are rounded, might be worth checking with a straight edge.

also don't be fooled into thinking having more thread poking through the back makes the bolt stronger, it doesn't
