Stupid wheel/tire questions

I've just ordered a set of CCW SP16a with Nitto Invos:

F: 20 x 10 - 275/40-20
R: 20 x 11.5 - 315/35-20

Here are the dumb questions:
  1. If I have no front-end alignment issues now, is it necessary or recommended to have the alignment checked after I mount the new wheels and tires?
  2. After switching, should I still follow the recommended 36 psi cold tire pressure of the factory tires? If not, what should I use?
  3. I will probably want to replace the lugs that come from CCW and certainly want a set of locking lugs, but what type/size/angle should I be looking at? The invoice just says "14MM TALL lug nuts". I know that there are quite a few here with CCW wheels so I'm hoping someone can tell me. If not, am I better off waiting to see/measure those that come from CCW?
  4. What can I do to make the 2 1/2 to 3 weeks before they are delivered pass faster?
Thanks in advance!

1.Unless you are lowering car the aligment should be fine unless you have hit some pot holes or something.
2.Each tire should have its own recommended tire pressure. Go by that for recommended daily driving and best tire wear.
3.Call manufacturer or rep for wheels
4.Spend time with the rest of us on Camaro5...time flies

You'll want to run the same pressures as stock due to the TPMS sensors. They have a range for what what they consider good anything outside of that will through the (!) tire air icon on the gauge cluster. We sell locking lug nut sets for $60 when purchasing wheels from us :-)! A normal length 14x1.5 lug nut isn't long enough to clear the Camaros studs as they have an extra long nose so you need about a 1/4" to 1/2" longer lug nut.

Thanks. I didn't even think about the TPMS triggering a message outside of the stock range.
