Standard thread length is 27mm so 32mm would be ideal as steve_pd said

I suppose it's down to each individual, I mean you don't have to.

It's just if you don't then you run the risk, if you do then you sleep easier.

If that was me, it would have a very profound effect on how I would drive - W would never get out of 1st gear  :grin:
Definitely get longer wheel bolts, it's not alot of money for what is an integral part.
