Champion makes some really awesome lug nuts and aluminum washers for the street lites. Lug nuts that come with the wheels are horrible. Start rusting along with the cheap washers.
I'm liking these wheels very much. I also have an S60, but narrowed only 2" per side. I will be getting them in 5.5" back spacing. Fronts will be their 15x3.5" 1.75"BS or 15x4 1.625BS.
Are you running 5/8" wheel studs? Strange axles? Very nice set up!
Thanks.
Yes 5/8" studs & Strange axles. Strange Pro Series rear brakes also. The LT1 brake calipers wouldn't clear the spring/panhard mount with the 3" per side.

That's one reason I had mine shortened only 2" per side while retaining the stock rear LT1 brakes. In fact, 2" per side is max if using LT1 brakes. Anymore will require their Strange brakes or swap to LS1 brakes.
Looks really great, and hope it runs as good as it looks, but say one day your taste and intentions change and you wanna wheel swap,, what then, rearend swap??

Whoever told you that "fact" is wrong. Narrowed 3" per side and stock LT1 rear brakes here.
^^Good to know. But how did you clear the driverside bleeder screw without cutting the pan hard mounting bracket. Mine is narrowed 2" per side and had to shave the bleeder screw a bit, as you can see in the pic below. Going another inch would definitely be hitting the pan hard mounting bracket.
I cut a small notch in it just to clear the bleeder. Wasn't a big deal and doesn't affect anything. I also kept my stock parking brake. By the way, your car looks badass.
