You will definitely need to measure the offset of the wheels if you don't know them, otherwise we can't help you crunch numbers and tell you exactly what you need. Look here:

If they're rotas it'll say on the inside of the wheel along with the width

Will I need extended lugs? It comes with it already seperate from the spacer tho

no, 5mm is the biggest you can go without needing extended lugs. I have had 5mm spacers on for years without extended lugs and have been perfectly fine

For 5mm, you will not need extended lugs (studs?). Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you can go up to a 10mm with stock studs.
