Default Cosworth wheels / longer bolts?

Hi all, new to this forum. Joined because I have a question. I've just made a web order for some brand new, genuine 16x8 escort cosworth wheels . They're going to be fitted to my mk6('W'2000) Escort 1.6. I've also just ordered separately 205/40/16 Falken tyres. My Q is: Will I need specific / longer length wheel bolts to fit these cosworth wheels onto my existing hubs? (I currently have 15'' genuine ford Softline's fitted, so I'm hoping I can just use these bolts) Thanks in advance, Dave.

ok thanks for the replies. They'll be on soon and I'll get some pictures up. This car was only bought as a run about, but so far I've added a clear lens pack, uprated bulbs, de-rub stripped the doors, debadged, lowered 40mm on apex springs, s/s decat pipe and four new toyo T1R's.
