also are they tapered or radius?

I think standard VW bolts are radius seat not tapered.

Strick your wheel bolt through the wheel off the car. How much sticks out?

As a rule of thumb; It should be at least the same as the dia. of the threaded part of the bolt.

Any less then you will need longer bolts.

hi all, thanks for all the help. i had a look around and best place was venom, so i thought id rather spend 20 quid that have it pulling any of my threads and wheels dropping off and whatnot hahaha. so the next size up is 41mm. is that too long?

Yeah but grind them down to 10mm longer than standard bolts!

just add 10mm onto the usual 26mm radius bolts. i put 5mm spacers on with aftermarket alloys and one of mine fell off. my bolts are now 45mm thread with aftermarket alloys and 5mm spacers ^.^
