Lug bolts for aftermarket rims?

About to put on some 22" aftermarket rims with conical seats and dont know what length to purchase. I know the oem bolts are rounded and have a shank length of 45mm.

Best to ask your supplier of aftermarket wheels to tell you what/which lug bolts are necessary in order to properly secure his wheels. Without knowing how the new wheels are designed/built it isn't possible for us to know which bolts are correct.

i get my bolts from www.ezaccessory.com

if you dont use spacers use the OEM length for reference.
Poke a bolt thru your oem wheel mesure length..
then do the same for the aftermarket wheels. see if the length are the same poking thru the wheels

they should be 14mm Conical nut bolts for aftermarket.

You mean 14 x 1.5 conical right? The ones I just put on mine with the MB-8's are 14x1.5x 27mm and that seamed to work well. PLEASE check your own and don't simply use what I have for reference, yours could require longer or shorter lugs and both could cause bad things to happen.
