I contacted Eibach customer services who advised me that a 40mm bolt will be fine to use with 10,12 or 15mm spacers. They said if I used a 20mm spacer then they recommend to use 45mm bolts.
Correct - spacer goes onto the hub and then the wheel bolts straight onto the spacer.
There is opinion out there regarding spacers, some like them and some are dead set against them. If I were to do very high speed runs on an airfield or drive on the autobahn, I would remove them. For day to day driving and motorway speeds I think they are fine.

Thank you very much for the clear explanation. I will definitely consider putting spacers in the spring.
The 40mm bolts that you bought, were also from Eibach ?
