Default Convert Escort from bolt to studs

I want to change the RS turbo from bolts to studs because the UltraLite A-Tec rims i bought almost a year ago come with the Ultralite titanium wheel nuts. So i looked at some UK webshops and they have some conversion kits, 4 bolts that fits into the hub... But is that all i need ? And what size or dimension do i need for a Ford fitment ??

As said, drill the holes out to 13mm and bang studs in, easy

I fitted diamond cut rs7s to my s2 and wanted to use the ford alloy wheel nuts supplied with them, speedshack do conversion studs, you just screw them in i put a bit of thread lock on the stud and just turned them in, have been on the car for two years now with no probs. Much better than the stupid bolts, pain in the arse when removeing/refitting wheels.
Good luck
