5mm Spacers, Longer bolts?

[Hoggy]

Just fitted some 5mm spacers on my front wheels since they were rubbing on the coilies and the inner arch, but i was wondering when tightening the standard bolts whether i would need longer bolts or not?

I think the standards should have enough of the threads holding but its playing in the back of my mind now 

Any advice much appreciated

Cheers, Hoggy.

i know of some1 local to me who runs 5mm spacers on the front running 18" bbs lm reps and he has had no trouble, i used to run 19" rs6's on my mk4 with 5mm spacers but i used some 5mm extended bolts as the rs6s where some heafty mo fo's, choice is yours but personaly id get some extended bolts to match your spacers for piece of mind,like you said its playing on your mind!

i was the same as you mate and worried a lot about using original bolts on my 5mm spacers after garage did not do them up properly but after sorting the issue out my self i have not had any problems and theres quite a few doing the same hth mate you should be fine  if in doubt just check them daily for more piece of mind

3mm or 5mm will be fine with standard bolts
