m12 x 1.5 just chose how long you want them
then either 16 of these

or 16 of these

use the 2 nut method to fit them with thread lock on them

Really does make lining a wheel up in the dark a lot easier

One of my mates recently spent 30mins trying to get a wheel on. He kept turning it to line it up and didnt realise he was just turning the whole disc

Yeah I got sick of that as I had no bolt holding disc to hub and used to have spacers as well do was quite annoying at times.

Trying to line up a 6 stud 4x4 pick up wheel onto studs isnt so easy though, only time Iv worked with studs and was a ballache with the weight of the wheel and you thought one was lined up but rest were way out

I far prefer studs on the Puma, going back to bolts now is like WTF where are the holes.

I much prefer studs too, much much easier to line up. I plan on doing mine once I finally finish the Corsa

i like studs on the puma, only downside is if you want to fit longer ones say for spacers or something, then you have to split the hubs and buy new wheel bearings as it destroys those in the process.
The studs are intereference pins and need knocking out
You wont have this problem screwing studs into normal hub holes though

If your too lazy to sort the disc screws, it helps that plus with spacers.
I've got the stuff to do mine just haven't got around to it.
Saves having to get longer bolts when you have spacers too.
