Your not going to able to get the socket on them. The wheel lug holes are too narrow.

 

Here is an example of what you need:

I had the guy I bought the wheels from at Discount Tire order them. Let's see what I get tomorrow.

Post up some pics of those Michelins when you get them. That's a new size for them (305/45R22), and I am very interested in them myself.

That goes without saying.

You'll get plenty of pics.

It's finally warm here so I can demonstrate my detailing skills soon. I'm talking clay bar and a finishing polish. Then heavy coats of some Blackfire Caranuba. Topped off with P&S Dream maker. 

But that's a new topic for another day.

I picked up the wheels this morning and got these lug nuts.

I'm going to test fit a wheel on the front tonight when I get home.

Those are the correct lug nuts. They will work. I just use and recommend the ET (extended thread) version since you get lot more thread engagement.

I did the math before ordering so i was pretty sure they were going to fit without a spacer.

Fits like a glove.

Clears the caliper by 1/8" 

The factory 22s were close too.

Maybe1/4".

Got my GM  tpms sensors today and the balance beads.

I hate those hideous weights.

Now just waiting on the tires to show up.

They should be here Monday. 

Looks like it will be around 1" poke.

More than I wanted but should look good

Which beads did you use?

 

Used Innovative Balancing’s products a lot years ago.

Counteract .

4 oz per tire.

On my lifted 18 I ran 38s and used these.

They used 14oz. per tire.

They work great

Fuel had to redesign a lot of their wheels to clear the 21 and up front caliper.

Speaking of calipers, the front setup is huge. Even the rear setup is bigger than k2.

I'm thinking about painting them red.

I also did this on my lifted 18 and it looked good
