standard steel wheel bolts

I've pulled out a steel wheel to refurb and keep as a spare. I currently have aftermarket alloys fitted with tapered wheel bolts.

The standard steel uses radius bolts, i never kept any of the mismatch ones used to fit the wheels when i bought it.

Can someone advise on the correct length of bolt needed?

The original part for steel wheels is M14x1.5 with 25mm of thread. Not the same as the VW Beetle version (still available new from Febi) at 19mm of thread.

Part number 183 601 139 A if you want the full nerdy detail :)
