Just bought a set of Turini's but didnt have any wheel bolts. Tried to measure the length the bolts through the clones and they came out at about 22-24mm so bought what i thought was the right length but they stick out from the Turini's about 30mm. I tried fitting them but the bolt was tightening up and the wheel was still loose. I was a bit sceptical about carrying on tightening them up as last time i tried that, they stuck out too far from the back of the hub.
What length bolts am i supposed to be using with Turini's? Dont want bolts that are too short!

Put a strip of card through the wheel with depths marked on and work it out in the absence of anything else. I don't have Turinis, but my Compomotives are direct fit and the bolts that came with them have a thread length of 28mm to the start of the tapered section, 53mm from end of shank to top of head - you'rs shouldn't be a million miles off that. They stick through nicely anyway.
I suspect the cyclone is wider. Your bolts have tightened up because you've reached virgin thread which is rusty. To get out of the jam you could try running a tap down them.

yeah i might run a tap down them tomorrow after work. I know its better to have them longer than shorter but i really dont want to put them in so they stick out the back of the hub and catch stuff!

If you put them in with the car jacked up you can see if they come out the back and by how far.
IIRC its 10 turns that a bolt will screw in by so you could count that also
