Depending on what hub and rim you have will affect the length. Common is high flange hub and deep section rim. 182 mm rear and 184 front. The fronts are longer as the flanges are further apart. If the rims are deeper then knock off another 2mm 180 & 182 respectively. That's assuming a 4 cross lace pattern.
Hope this helps
