I would always use a piece of string and measure what's fitted currently.
If you've not had the car from new, things may have changed down there.

As above^^^^^^^

The correct length of hose is determined by what size wheels are fitted.

Even more reason to get in there and see what you currently have fitted.
When I rebuilt my brakes, I had front and rear wheels off as a recce mission to confirm everything before ordering.

Overkill for some but you get no nasty surprises when the parcels arrive or the car is disabled and off the road.
