   Get hubcentric spacers mate, they are by far the safest type of spacers to use. They'll bolt to the hub and then the wheel bolts to them. They should come with bolts which you'll use to bolt them to the hub and then you'll use your standard wheel bolts to bolt the wheels to the spacer

   you can just order 20mm longer than standard wheel bolts.......do us a favour and DON'T use your standard once......not unless you want the wheels to come off and your car doing a dodgy impression of a drunk penguin sliding accross the ice!!!!!
