Try getting a copy of Performance VW mag and have a look round the ads in there.

Are you looking for any brand in particular, I'm planning on getting some Eibachs from JBS. If you don't have any luck may be try there?

Good luck and let us know how you get on...

20mm spacers I'd say yes but rule of thumb for correctly sizing wheel bolts of the exposed free length of studs is

You should have a minimum of 6 full turns of Bolt or nut on a stud from start to tight

There is no maximum but it's pretty obvious if you have drum brakes on the rear about 9 turns is as far as you want to go with a bolt!!!!!!
