I just bought some of the long-shank nuts from my local auto parts store for mine....You need long ones because the holes are deep, so the "acorn" ones are really hard to put on.

I just used my stockers. Just put them inside the wrench and insert into hole and turn. But don't do this with a impact wrench. Only with a tire iron. ie.. two bar cross type.

Size should be 12 x 1.25

Buy a set of Gorillas! They are very good and come with a key which is made for the set it comes with. Very secure and well worth the money.

Got them... Man they are in excellent condition no scratches nothing. Inmaculate and the tires are perfect. Can I put the rear with the 245?

How will this affect the tach in my car?

Trust me they look SWEET but too bulky for my taste in the back. I still have the factory tires that they came with 245 in the back. will be changing them soon...... and will have to finish the drop in the back... haven't done it yet. I have done the front and it looks great..but the back bothers me a lot.

Exactly. I also kept my OEM nuts. I also bought the G35 rims with the OEM tires and had to replace the rear tires which were 245/45/18s. I had rubbing issues and replaced the tires with 235/40/18s.

Right now I don't have the rubbing issue cause I haven't drop the car in the back so, once I do it i will have to replace the tires........
