I would suggest getting the spacers from Rogue Engineering and they can supply longer lug nut bolts - its what I did.

The guy didn't like the look of the turner bolts in the rear because they didn't match his front OEM bolts. So I told him to buy 20 (10 longer, and 10 regular size) so he could replace the OEM bolts as well and then they would all look the same 
Ended up just getting the H&R DRA series spacers (comes with bolts to bolt spacer to the hub) and using the OEM bolts.

dont get it! what did you do?
Too late, already done. Works perfectly. Rear wheels (no spacers) are 6mm outwards from stock (+22mm vs +28mm stock), and front wheels are now (with 20mm spacers) 7mm outwards from stock (+25mm - 20mm = +5mm vs 12mm stock). Plus, got to keep the stock black lugbolts with dished heads, which I prefer over the flat heads.
Really dirty, but ah well:

Sorry, I meant to say " I dont get it, what did you do" how did you still use your stock bolts?
The DRA series spacers have 10 holes drilled in them instead of 5. 5 of those holes are coned for bolts to go through them, 5 of them are threaded. They include 5 bolts per spacer. You bolt the spacer to your hub. Then, you use your stock lugs to bolt your wheels onto the spacer.
They're only made on 20mm and wider spacers, since thinner ones wouldn't have enough thread.
