new 18" snow wheels/tires on '13 SHO

[interceptor]

Question for you Interceptor, since I just purchased the same rims/wheel size (Hakkapeliitta R2's), do I need to buy some new lug nuts, or will the factory lugs work?

You need to buy new lugs.

I have a set of Moda 18" wheels w/Blizzak's and they look pretty good and run GREAT in the snow.

You need to buy new lugs.

Gotcha, what type are required? I tried to look it up on their website but couldn't find any info.

I have a Discount Tire wheel installation kit, Part #87362/21184HTD, Lug style S/D Acorn, Thread size 1/2".  They are considerably narrower than the stock lugs to fit in the wheel.

I also got a Gorilla Hub Centric ring kit, part #73-6336, wheel bore size 2.874"/73.00mm, vehicle hub size 2.494"/63.36mm. 

Hope that helps.

Thanks for all the info! Getting this stuff correct is a pain for somebody who isn't an expert at cars. Can't wait to get these snow shoes on the car, getting sick of the summer tires in Minnesota.

In Mass, i've gone with the 18" winter kit as well.  I've always like the flat-black look for my winter sets.  Dirt and salt doesn't show up as easy. 

Easy swap back to stock in the Spring.
