Wheel spacers question and where to buy longer wheel bolts

i purchased a set of 19" Moven replica wheels. The problem is the tire rubs on the inside in the front (on the shock tower nut I think). I tried 5mm non-hub centric spacers but that was a nightmare (is there any way to get them not to vibrate?).

I am about to order a set of 10mm spacers, but where do I purchase longer wheel bolts from? I just need it for the front, the rears seem to fit fine. Will 10mm hubcentric spacers have the same kind of vibration I experienced with the others?

You must specify Front or Rear axle and model of your car. Stay away from other brands.

I got mine from Import Replacement Parts for a discount. You can get 5 mm H&R ones that are hubcentric too, but they do not extend your existing hub flange. I would stick to the smallest that you need, especially for the front. Don't forget to mention whether you need bolts that have a round (stock) or conical seat (typical for aftermarket).

You can also try EuroCarPartInc. They also have good prices.
