make sure the lugs are compatible with your wheels first, same design (acorn style I assume)

If so, then yah, you're fine, just do one or two at a time and you'll be good...

I found some Kics lugs for anywhere from 150 to 220...

Why on earth would you spend that kind of money on lugs?

I mean, really, what are they going to get you that you can't get equivalent for $30 from Gorilla?
