help choosing setup

[DSM Jeff]

Those lug nuts are a great fit for the rims, and really do a good job at not damaging the finish on the rim. I have used these lug nuts with my slipstreams and sub zeros for more than 4 years now, and I regularly remove/install them (>than 20 times a year).

Great Price, Great Product!

I think I bought mine through Jegs.com or Summitracing.com

I definatly agree. My brother picked up a set of Gorilla tuner style lugs for his slip streams which I later bought off him and used. I've since sold my slips to my buddy along with the lugs and he's been using them. No idea how many times they've been on and off but its been many. They are still holding up great (the black ones) and fit the wheel great. I think we got them from Summit.

Twicks, any suggestions on a tire to go with the slipstreams?

And what pitch should i get with the lug nuts?

The tire choice will have to be up to you since I don't know your driving habits or your goals. For tire sizing, I would look at 215/55/R16 or 225/50/R16 -- both fit a 16x7" rim very nicely.

Tire selection is kind of personal. You have to make several decisions about what you want though:

Do you want a tire that works well in the wet?
Do you want a tire that works on snow or ice?
Do you want a tire that will last for 10K miles, or 20Kmiles or 40K miles?
Do you want maximum grip in the dry, at the expense of tire life and cold weather performance?

I'd suggest going to tirerack.com and doing some reading on tires in the 225/50/16 size.

I would just like to add that BFG's rule... you can't get a better tire at the price, and you probably can't find a better tire... definitely more traction when it comes to radials, but very hard to balance

I second this. I have owned drag radials from BFG, Nitto, and Hoosier and the BFG's are the best I've experienced as well.
