The simple answer is yes and it would need to be 10mm longer than the bolt your are now using.

Even a 5mm spacer would need longer bolts in my book. Bolt lengths are there for a reason.

Good luck.

To be fair I don't think a standard wheel bolt would even grip the hub on a 10 mil spacer lol

The strength of any given bolt is also in it`s width... not just the length.

So out of curiosity would you need new locking bolts as well and can you get different lengths if you don't use spacers on the rear?
