Should be OK. I used 6mm spacers on my rear wheels and didn't need longer bolts. So long as there are at least 5 threads in the hub, you should be OK. Clean the bolts, put a small bit copper grease on the ends, torque one in, take it out and it'll show you how many threads are used.

 

If not enough threads, I got some 35mm bolts (standard length is 28mm) from http://www.balancemotorsport.co.uk next day delivery. They're a flat bolt type with cones which you slide on to either make a taper or radius fit, so they can be used on any wheel.
