DIY single chainring - washer size?

Hey, I have a road double crank and want to knock it down to a single, keeping the inside chainring alone.

Does anyone know what size washers (hardware store) are needed to just use the double chainring bolts instead of buying SS bolts?

Thanks,

to get new chainring bolts in 5mm is easier and safer and most likely cheaper. Just dont get Aluminum ones.
