Do I have the right wheel bolts? Please help

Hi guys. I'm installing my OEM steelies for winter and had to throw out my OEM wheel bolts as they were over tightened and stretched. I've ensured proper torque this time around but noticed that my new ball seat bolts are very short. Do these look like the roght length? My conical bolts are much longer so it's got me wondering if I bought the right bolts. I will attach a pic.

Threaded length or lenghth below the seat is what's important. Phil is correct, 27mm below seat is what you're looking for.

Your conical bolts are longer because the aftermarket wheels had a thicker hub. I actually had to contact discounttiredirect back when I got TSW wheels, they sent bolts that were too short.
