As above what size wheel spacers can be used with standard lenght bolts for a 2.0tdi sport altea . Was hoping 5,8 or 10mm

I'd slightly disagree with the above. If you're fitting 10mm spacers then the bolts will be 10mm too short and as such won't screw into the hub enough for it to be the same safety as it was before. I ran 10mm on standard bolts and I could only get 3-4 full turns which may be OK for some, but it's recommended that you should do 6-7 full turns.

To be honest no matter what size spacer you run I'd always go for the correct length bolts.

The standard bolts are that length for a reason and with something that actually holds your wheels on I wouldn't take any chances.
