5 mm spacers on standard lug bolts

Can 5 mm spacers be used with standard lug bolts or are new longer ones needed?

I put 5mm on with stock 20” wheels.

I think I had around 5 turns of the bolts, but for a small sum I bought longer ones, just to have the piece of mind. Remember when buying, make sure there the same bolt fitment.

Minimum of 7 full turns are required for 14x1.5 bolts (8 turns is even safer).

Thats correct, hence why I bought longer bolts.

W213 is a big and heavy car, coupled with 20” wheels, theres
some weight there, so best to be safe, and mind at rest.

With 5mm spacer, no issue, there are by far enough threads left.
Use stock bolts

What are the recommended wheel spacers brands for the E?
