I ordered a set of street lites, 15x10 7.5bs (fbody spec), and 15x4 1.625 bs...I understand these need a shank style lug nut, from what I can tell I need 12mm x 3/4" shank for the fronts (stock studs) and 1/2" x 3/4" shank for the rears (1/2" studs) open style, correct?
Do I need a spacer upfront or just grind? I'm finding people saying both, or is it up to me? I don't care if I have to grind.
Planning to run a 28x10.5 stiff sidewall MT out back, what does everyone run on the front, I'm looking at either Moroso DS-2s or the MT sportsman...or something really cool that I don't even know about

Thank you! Exactly the info I was looking for...Did you roll your fenders? Anything you had to do to make them fit?
Almost forgot, are you running tubes?

Yes, I am running tubes and I also put wheel screws in. I already had the fenders rolled but I also had to trim the bumper cover and the metal bracket that is behind it, I cut the bottom front of the wheel well at a 45 degree angle, and I also had to adjust my lower control arms to get the wheel/tires centered correctly so they didn't rub. You also might have to do a BFH mod to the inner wheel wells so the insides of the tires don't rub. At first I was a little nervous about cutting up my car but it turned out perfect. You can't even tell the wheel wells have been modified unless your really looking hard. If I get some free time I'll take some pics of where I cut the wheel wells.
