I was informed by the tire rack that they would not install wheels and tires onto car that required or used wheel spacers.

Having been down that road, I can say that you need to consider using spacers carefully, I don't know if longer bolts are available either. The thing might be that they work OK, but a tire installer would forget a spacer or something, you know if your wife or friend drove the car, had a flat and took it to Dumass Gas Station for fixing a flat... YMMV

Always check the offset too, there's nothing like the right wheel offset for a car to ensure that handling is not compromised.
