We're in the same situation, I've had the wheels for more than a week now and I'm still not done putting them in the car. The best thing to do is, bring your wheels along with your car to a wheel store so they can measure the length of bolts you need and/or if you'll need spacers. I've tried two sets of bolts already, the rear bolts are still long they're hitting the e-brake components. Atleast by the shop measuring the bolts they'll have a clear idea the length of bolt you'll need. At this point I'm still waiting on my bolts and I haven't gotten any reply yet from the wheel manufacturer.

H&R is the brand of spacers and they cost around $50 for a pair.
