Wheel stud conversion?

Anyone here do a wheel stud conversion on their car? If so, is blue loctite threadlocker adequate? Or is the red loctite threadlocker needs to be used?

If the issue is getting wheels on without the rotor moving and making it hard to align, a getting metal stud to install and start hanging the wheel is pretty cheap and easy. I contemplated one but in the meantime got really good at hanging the wheel and starting a bolt without it.

Wheel hangars are great - I keep a pair in my toolbox. They seemed like a waste of money at first, but now I wouldn't be without them.
