Default another summit wheel question

i have a 98 Z28 and i am fixin to order the summit star wheels,15x4 & 15x8, i have drilled and slotted rotors but they are the same size of the stock rotors, pads are about half worn, should i have any problems? i've heard that summit wheels require very little grinding if any, i'll grind if i have to, anyone have drilled and slotted rotors with these wheels? also the lugnuts are 12mm x 1.5 right?

I reused my stock lugnuts. Tomorrow I might take some pictures to show everyone how much grinding is needed...very little.

Here is a pic of the rears on mine after grinding. this was with brand new pad sand rotors to so I'll not need to grind any more than this..



Fronts I just used a good 1/4" spacer from southwest speed and they fit right on. Just excuse the dirty calipers. I didn't grind them at all. I was in the process of cleaning them and painting them when I took this pic.



I have the 2.5" ARP studs on my car all 4 corners too and just use basic acorn lug nuts that are stock replacements on the Summit wheels.
