Those with welds RTS S71 wheels help!

Need help! Ordering welds for my dad's 2010 SS 18x7 and 18x 10 RTS S71 wheels. It says it requires conical lugs. Can anyone tell me what lugs to get? Thanks in advance!

Looks good Blake-b I was gonna go with this same set up as you. But when running 18's do you have any interference with the brake caliper?

Thank you!

If you have the front brakes with the "roller skates" on them, you'll have to cut them off.
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=136414

All I did was take a grinder with a cut off wheel and cut them off as close as I could to the calipers. I did slip and hit the calipers but it is cosmetic. I could have removed the pads from the brakes to cut them but I did not. No issues at all doing this. The skates are part of the pads; replacement pads likely won't have them.

The picture shows where I cut them off.

Ok thanks.... Yeah the roller skates on the calipers on mine are already removed. Was done previously by the first owner before me.

This is what I used with my Weld S76 wheels and they work very well.

18's will be fine on an LS or SS but anyone with a ZL1 beware you'll get some rubbing inside the fronts on turns. I had 8" fronts

I ran MT on the rear and Nitto on the front because Nitto had so many different sizes to the the right height.

Rears are 18" X 10.5 w/ 305/45 Mickey Thompson ET Streets
Fronts are 18" X 8.0 w/ 245/50 Nitto Invos

I currently have the Gorilla 96643BDX. do you think they will work or do I need the 71643. My friend has the 71643 as well. everything pretty much the same but the conical seat type for the 9s are bulge and for the 7s standard.

Yeah, but that raw aluminium is a PITA to keep that way with water spots and all.
