You def don't want to risk not going hubcentric. There are quite a number of horror stories with damage to the studs.

I think you should be okay without them. not positive though...ask Gary at the tire rack..he might know better.

I think 3 mm is okay with OEM bolts...larger than that you would need extended bolts...
