the bolts are made to fit the offset from the rotor face to the wheel face.
the double bolts are for the 126 offset wheels. the short bolts are for the steel spare, the medium length bolts are for the 124 wheel. you want the head to sit flush with the face of the wheel, and the threads should thread at least 10mm into the rotor.
