I just used standard bolts on my S2 BUT got a set of fiesta turbo nuts and smashed the washers off in a vice, put them in the wheel then my bolt.
Never had an issue..

I heard that they pull threw if you just use the standard bolts. They sell some that do the job but i just did it that way.. Appranlty you have to do the same with Escort Cosworth wheels.

Exactly. Or stud conversion and the bigger nuts with movable collar.
