Default What length wheel bolts??

Several of mine are rounded, and the tyre place had to batter an undersized socket onto one of them to get it off - even then it took him quite a while.


I'm thinking about replacing all of them, but the sets on eBay seem to vary widely in length (20-55m FFS ), even though all specified for Rover 75.


I've found that at least two of mine are different lengths too:





Is there a "correct" or even optimum length for these?


Thanks
