Help fitting alloy wheels - what do i need?

Post by kathyshack »

I have got these wheels to fit to my van :-

I think they need spacers and longer bolts/studs??

Anyone know what they need exactly to fit my van? I have it booked into a garage saturday, so they can fit the tyres from my current wheels and put the wheels on at the same time. Garagge don't know have bolts and things in stock, so ideally I need to find out what I need and get them by saturday.
Can anyone help?
Thanks tonnes,
kathy.
