14mm x 70mm...
No problem!
The load on wheel bolts is in tension.
Provided they are torqued correctly there is no shear load, and almost no bending moment. All shear load is born by friction on the mounting surfaces, even during acceleration and braking.
A 14mm x 50mm bolt will not have any significant increase in twist (along the shaft) compared with a 14mm x 70mm bolt either, and the tensile load they can withstand is equal.
If you're using hub centric spacers, they will centre the wheel on the hub properly making sure the bolts align.
