Yes, you need tuner lugs with those wheels.

does $24 for valves and nuts sound about right? This is my first time buying wheels if you cant tell.

Ok, the deal's done, I payed for the wheels. The guy recomended 215/45/17 size tires, but the faq says 235/45/17, which should I get, by the way my max will be stock height for a while.

7.5 is perfect for 225 or you can go with 235 either ones fine

235-45-17 is the closest you can get to stock diameter. Your speedometer will be off the least with this size.

I have the exact same wheels on my 2000 Max. They look great, and I think you will be quite happy with them. Be sure to use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts to the proper degree. 80-85
