Default Wheels/Spacers/center caps- with ET30 and 10mm spacers will I need longer bolts?

Does anyone know what size center caps the 5 spoke RS6 wheels (replica) use? I checked eBay and it looks like they come in many different sizes.

Default yes, it is not the et that needs the longer bolts, it is the fact that you run spacers

my guess, you will need at least a 40mm lug bolts. Anything shorter than that you might run the risk of not enough threads engaging into the wheel hub through the floating brake rotor, which means you are literally running on the hair of your chinny-chin-chin. Not safe.

ebay has bolts, so does discount tire and tirerack.

Agree...you need at least 6 full turns of the lug bolts to be sure the wheel is secure
