The box frame Y rods are longer than the single plate rods. I see M10 being used. Have you looked for a BOM in the Wiki? There is a fair amount of info on the box frame i3.

Yes, long Y-threaded is M10
You might want to check configuration.scad.dist (at the end of file) on the git hub for the smooth rod lengths, they differ from the wiki.
z- smooth is right
x-smooth is 14mm shorter on the wiki
y-smooth is 100mm shorter on the wiki ?
Not sure why yet, only noticed in last day or 2 and have had no time to look into it.

Thanks for the replies.
The reason I ask is that in the wiki build manual is says "2x 400mm M10 threaded rod", but in the build thread at http://78.47.92.212/i3_documentation_pics/04-yaxis.md.html it shows using M8 washers and nuts on these long threaded rods.
So I am not sure which rods to use.
TIA

Think M10 is the default now ,design is still undergoing improvement, hence the difference to the pictorial build guide you linked to. Why they needed the added strength of M10, I'm not sure.
If you do go for M8, make sure you ask the person who prints your parts to alter the configuration.scad to M8, otherwise you get Y-Corners and frame base clamps for M10.
Personally I'd stick with the M10.
