Eibach spacers
I think I got them through tire rack.
Yes, you'll need longer bolts...I honestly can't remember where i got them, it's been a few years. They may have come as a kit with the spacers, but can't be sure.
As an FYI, these spacers are hubcentric to the hub. The wheel is NOT hubcentric to the spacer

You mean the spacer mates with the lip on the hub but doesn't have it's own lip for the wheel?
That might be okay for like a 2mm spacer, but for a thicker spacer that kinda scares me.

Correct
I haven't had any issues with it, except for being a PITA to get wheels on...that plastic pin in the jack kit is much needed!
I've even ordered other sets (8mm H&R Trak+) to see if they are truly hubcentric for this fitment..no go. I hear true hubcentric (hub>spacer>wheel) can run $100+/corner.
Accoring to the the fellas at Option Imports (where I sourced the H&Rs), the true hub centric is only avialable on wider spacers, not sure what the minimun width is though

Option Imports
has H&Rs..i ordered a set of 8mms to see if they were like they looked in the photo, but weren't (See "Eibach spacers" above).
You might want to call and see if the 12mm are cetntric to both hub and wheel<ul><li><a href="http://www.optionimports.com/24255571.html">12mm Spacers</a></li></ul>
