Hey guys, so my 8mm h&r spacers arrived today, but my question is; will the oem bolts have enough meat on them to grip spacer+rim or will I need to get longer bolts?

Just think about how awesome it'll look when you get it done - it really does change the stance!

Yup, will have to see where I can source some bolts asap.
Do you know what the length of the oem bolts are? Is it as simple as adding 8mm for the new extended bolts?

The OEM bolts have a 26mm thread length and yes as simple as that.

Well,
When I ordered my spacers from Virdee I also got bolts, locking nuts, coilover's, arb's,adjustable front arms, a twix and a tube of Bigboy lube !!
Although he did ask for the twix and the lube back !!!!
Hope it worked out for you and Raul mate

8mm spacers require appr. 35mm bolts (orig. bolts 27-28mm).
