Spacers and Wheel Bolts

Hopefully somebody can help me out with these questions about Spacers & Wheel Bolts.

Got 3 Questions really

1. What are the standard size wheel bolts that come on the Polo GTI?
2. I am looking to get some 20mm spacers for the front & rear, but I am planning on a wheel change next summer which will be Ronal LS rims (15"x7.5J ET25) can anybody tell me what Wheel bolt size I will need to accommodate those wheels with spacers?

Another question I have is with the Ronal LS rims being 7.5J is it best to run 205/45/R15 tyres or run them with a slight stretch at 195/45' or maybe 40?

Any help will be appreciated :D

Cheers

Youll need 12+20 so 32

Wait for some confirmation though :P

Yeah I might go 15mm on the front and 20mm on the rears, its not going to happen until next year I just wanted some input and answers so I haveb a clear idea in my head before I buy them.
