I have a set of aftermarket wheels that are 18x8.5 with offset of ET 35mm.
The wheels did not come with lug bolts. It looks like the bolts I need are 14mm thread diameter x 1.5 mm thread pitch with cone seats. I am looking around for a set, but I don't know what length I need. Besides offset, is there any other info that's needed to figure out what length of bolt will fit? Will I need spacers?

You won't need spacers-- they'll just fit with 225/40 tires... if you're not too low.
Not sure about bolt length. Tomasz @ <a href="http://www.startupracing.com/">Startup Racing</a> always helped me out with these issues.

You can try the stock ball seat lug, but not on the car...
With the wheel off the car, put the one of the lugs into the rim. Measure how much of the bolt is sticking out. IIRC, the stock lugs are 27mm long. You need at least 10mm past the inner rim face.
