Default Tire/lug nut question forgestar F14

My Forgestar F14 wheels will be here anytime and I am wondering since guys have been running them for a little while now what is the best daily driver tire for these rims? Also mine will be in the color Gunmetal and was wondering what to do for lug nuts. I have done some research but still need input. Thanks!!

Wrapped mine in BFG KDW2's. Still love em.

I got lugs from Discount Tire since I was right there.

I will say the opening for the lugs is VERY small on the Forgestars, so make sure you get a low profile socket for whatever ones you get.

The best daily driver tires for the Forgestars are no different than the best daily driver tires for any other wheels. In other words, it depends on your priorities, your budget, your intended usage, etc. What tires do you have now, and what do you like or not like about them? Without having that sort of information it's impossible to provide you any useful advice.
