Default replacement wheel bolts

As my wheel bolts are rusty and starting to round off, plus I wanted to discard the locking bolts, found some chrome alloy wheel bolts on Amazon, nice and shiny, however they are approx 6mm longer than the original bolts, will they be o.k?.

I wouldn't use anything other than original as the quality of replacement "as original" parts these days can be appalling! I've seen bolts snap well before they have reached the torque setting.
