Size of closed rivets for floor?

I'm not entirely sure what size and length is normally used as part of affixing the floor to the chassis, can anyone guide me?

I know I need a "closed" rivet to prevent water ingress and i'll be using an air riveter so should be able to use fairly tough ones....

I used 4mm x 8mm long as suggested by Flak Monkey. If your floor is particularly thisk you might want to go to 4 x 12

They are to long and wide for the floor mate.

Rivets have a clamping range bassed on there length.
