12mm & 8mm Spacers - Do I need longer bolts?

[Agent_Trig]

I've got some Eibach 12mm and 8mm spacers to be fitted and it only just occurred to me that I might need some longer bolts.

Do I? If so, where's best to buy them from?

Cheers

You will need bolts 12mm longer and 8mm longer.

Ok, I'm a little confused - Do I need to bolt the spacers onto my hub and then bolt the wheels onto the spacers? I've never fitted spacers before so I have no idea what I am looking for.

I have got these spacers
Audi - Eibach Pro-Spacer Wheel Spacer kits – Compare our Prices! - larkspeed.com

Or is it just one long bolt that goes through the wheel and spacer into the hub?

One long bolt goes though the wheel and spacer, 5 per wheel before anyone says anything lol

Standard bolts are 28mm long, so you can do the maths for longer ones Dont forget youll need longer lock nuts too!

Don't forget you'll need longer locking nuts too. I got mine off the bay.

Thanks for that. D0 you know if I need 17mm or 19mm head? I only ask so that it fits the standard wheel brace in the boot.
