i couldnt quite put on the wheels, worrying if might fall off, and didnt have torque wrench.
but i got one of the bolts out from the car and put it in one of the holes on the new wheels. about 3/4 inch of of the bolt comes out when i measured from the inside of the wheels. so thats about 3/4 inch that would be screwed into the car/rotor. is that good enough?

Bolt length sounds about right. What type of bolt seat do the new wheels have?
Most aftermarket wheels have a conical seat; your OEM lugs have a ball type seat. The seat has to match.
