Help! Wheel Bolt Thread Length

I bought a set of these:


http://www.barchetta-lexikon.de/bilder/f008_005.jpg

about 2 months ago and I still can't find the right bolts for them.

I think I tried some with 31mm thread length, but in back they were too short. (Only 3 or 4 turns and then they were tight).

I want to leave the spacers on the back and swap out my steel wheels for those alloys above, but it would be nice to know the exact (+/- 1 mm) thread length.

Does anybody with the spacers on know or could someone pop one out and check? It gives me heartache driving around with rusty steelies when I could be motoring with some nice original Fiat alloys.

If you know the front thread length, that would be helpful too. (I think there aren't any spacers on the front.)

Much thanks.

~Dan

Thanks Doc, you rock!

Unfortunately the prices after shipping are about the same as at the Fiat dealer, so I'm told. I think I can get them for 64 euro a set here (Berlin, Germany). I was just trying to save a few euros.

I had bought some Borbet bolts, for a euro each, but they were too short.

I just wanted to know the right size so I could just go to the auto parts store and get the right ones.

I'm cheap like that. My friend's Italian mother used to say: "Better in my pocket than their pocket... mmmph."
