   Need to put some spacers on the rears, it's not rubbing but very close. If I do put 10mm do I need longer bolts?. And what bolts for vtr alloys, got told I need flat bolts, I've got counter sunk bolts on, and the wheel holes are counter sunk :/.

   if your wheels are close something is up if they are standard wheels
   
   flat seat bolts are cause the bottom of the holes are flat
   taper bolts have tapered holes
   
   youll be lucky to find longer flat seat bolts
   
   i would look at the beam do your wheels camber over

   The tyres are 185/45/14 on vtr alloys. So if the wheels are counter sunk the counter sunk bolts should be ok. As I got told they would undo themselves.
