Just got some 9.5j wheels came off a mk4 golf but when fitting was hitting the callipers so slight so thought get spacers

But me being me not waiting got some of these would these ok on normal bolts as long as thread goes in ok

I wouldn't bud, they're not hucentric so you are relying on the bolts to support the weight of the car, what is the thickness of them, 5mm would be okay but you would still need longer bolts.
 
Hi dan . I had the same issue ive now got 10mm spacers all round with 40mm thread length bolts (37.5mm are good too).

usually the back calipers touch with no spacers.

Wouldnt drive with standard bolts though , push a bolt through the wheel then add the spacer and see how much thread you have left

i used some for a while on standard nuts but after a few weeks i took them off, it will always be on your mind...
 
You really don't want one of your new rims flying off, not worth the risk.
 
What is the centre bore as found some decent spacers but don't want to buy the wrong ones
