I got those wheels. I can't remember. I picked up mine when I got my tires put on. All key locked. . .

Any acorn style nut should work. I think stock studs are 1/2-20. I picked up some chrome lugnuts at CarQuest, about $1 each.

You can get a set of four locking nuts, one for each wheel, for <$10 at any local parts store.

The kind I have is that the socket that I take them off with is the key. Very low profile. . .

Yea, that's the type I'm talking about. I had those on the Camaro before the new rims were added. Just be careful not to strip it or mess it up!

I would up size the front to a 255. I got good streering now. But I believe with a little more out there it would be perfect.

245/45R17's are smaller than stock diameter. 245/50R17 is almost spot on, so you are better off with those. I picked up BFG's in that size, and they work great.

Yes a 45 17 is smaller. But it looks good. That is another reason why I am steping up to 18s!

If you think ~$100 a tire is bad, don't ever get anything bigger than 17"! I was happy to get my tires for $90 a piece.
