10mm wheel spacers + stock wheel bolts?

Two (hopefully) quick questions:

1. Will 10mm spacers front / back work w no rubbing?

2. Will my stock wheel bolts be long enough?

Stock wheel/tire setup - msport suspension.

10mm will be fine. I have 15mm front and rear and the front only rub on the biggest dips and bumps and the rear never rub. You will need longer wheel bolts. The ones I bought have a 45mm shank so a 40mm shank would be perfect for you. If you have any trouble finding extended bolts pm me and I can point you in the right direction for some that are very affordable and are great quality.

Hijacking regarding spacer/shank length. I plan to do 5mm front and 10mm rear. If I get a pack of 20 40mm shank bolts, will they be too long for the fronts?

My recollection is that there's a lot of room under the hub, and unlikely to hit. Also when I had 5mm spacers, I used the stock bolts, there seemed to be plenty of thread left and they weren't at all too short. 10mm spacers also tend to come with longer bolts so you might not need to order any extra.

I actually have 5 and 10mm spacers if you're truly interested...
