Default you'll have to match the seats on the new wheels...

There are two types, ball and tapered (conical). You need to know which one the new wheels are, and you need to have them long enough to give you 8 full turns into the hub, too. If you are using the wrong type, the bolt won't seat in the wheel right, can wobble loose, and mess up the wheel at the least and come off at the worst.
