I have tt comps and 20mm spacers and the bolts I have have a 50mm thread, so if your thread is 30mm or more you will be fine

stick a bolt through one of the new wheels and see how much thread you have sticking out.

unless you have spacers that need extra long bolts they should be ok tbh.

My brother is running 7.5x17'' et32 audi alloys with the standard bolts on his 9n. You'll be fine, but you may wanna get locking nuts also!
