Default wheel bolts to wheel studs

Want to convert my mk2 fester to wheel studs as cheap as possible I know u can put mk1 hubs on but they aren't in my local scrappy any more and I know u can buy screw in studs but I was thinking if u could drill out the exsiting holes and pit normal studs in?

You can buy proper studs to do the job. You just open the holes out a touch in the hub and use a couple of nuts to pull the new stud into place. I think it cost me £20 for my ones in my 3i
