Get some hub-centric spacers. If you get some cheap nasty ones you will have some major high speed juddering.

If you value your life buy new bolts no matter what mm you gain!

Take out a bolt on your wheel and see how much actually holds the wheel on!

Much better to pay more for spacers to be honest.

I'll get spacers for the rear eventually, but that's at the bottom of my list of things to do as you know  :wink:
