A lot of people have tried sourcing alloys for the M49 M59 but it never ends well because of the terrible offset most cheap aftermarkets are. There is plenty of topics on the forum, granted the search engine is not bringing them up. Also that purchase you made...i don't know going from 175 to 185 and I 93% assume those 15" are no more than 6.5j was it really worth it, not to mention the extra weight. Here is what I would have done if I thought about getting new setup for the ghetto van, OEM 15j6 ET18,

On the other hand if you do want to get spacers at least invest into concentric (wheel can sit on the lip instead of bolts) and you will definitely need longer bolts. Don't follow any guides and measure by eye, any spacer below 20mm is probably worthless [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅5̲̅)̲̅$̲̅] [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅5̲̅)̲̅$̲̅] [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅5̲̅)̲̅$̲̅] wise. I've had a bunch I've tested from our track guys and they are all pretty much the same, don't worry about the shape. You have ones that barely have any material (thats because they are universal for multi holes + claim to be light...bullshit) and then you have full metal with holes for specific vehicle which are best (this design is not because quality item but because over 20mm they will have to be more meaty..and they are easier to fit having specific holes while locating the wheel back on)

If I couldn't fetch something like this for peanuts I wouldn't bother with them at all. Banded Steels For The Win
p.s and yes the handling will improve a touch (very dependable on your current geometry) based on having wider tracking at the front.
Edit: These idiots can't even tell you the correct length, the manufacture data is all over the place. I guess the Dura gives you extra 30cm to play with, but at least it shows you it doesn't have to be the perfect size. Obviously as long as it's not too short.
