Just a quick 1 as I keep seeing different answers. With 5mm hub centric spacers will I need longer bolts. For a gti if that helps

You may find loads of detail on the web that says no, you'll be OK, but I would always run an appropriate length bolt.

The 5mm one is described as hubcentric but there's no lip on it...

Agreed, I'm sure you can't get 5mm hubcentric spacers.
