you need ones that are 5mm longer. I got mine off ebay and they came with the bolts.

but arent there differences in different type of bolts, i.e. some are stronger than others etc

[Wazzzer]

standard length bolts are fine with 5mm spacers

As Wazzzer says, standard bolts are fine, I ran mine for thousands of miles without issues.

And as dom and wazzzer have said before running standard bolts with 5mm spacers is fine i too ran mine with standard bolts for awhile,as for different types its mainly the seating type ie taper or ball seat

What wheels have you got, should be easy enough to work out the bolts required.
