Weld Wheel COMBO .. What I need??
Hello guys 
I just bought a new set from Weld wheels for my
2011 GS
S76 beadlock 17x11 (thinking of 305-45R17)
Full throttle 4.5x17 (still didn’t decide about the tires)
1- Do I need any special studs, spacers, nuts...etc especially for the fronts?
2- Any suggestions of tires sizes?

The rears will take a standard conical lug nothing special needed for them.
17x10 would probably be slightly better option for drag racing specifically (tire sizing) but I ran a 305/45/17 et street R on my 17x10 for awhile no issues!
For the fronts you'll need to use a spacer to clear the front brakes. MightMouse sells a kit and so does 1320wheels.
I used 1320 wheels billet spacer and Macgard 63002 Lug Nuts for the front. Other wise youll need smaller brakes and extended studs.
a 26 inch tall front runner is all you need for the front.

These spacers are probably 30mm+ in order to clear brake calipers. The Macgard 63002 lug nut is specifically designed for drag racing application.
The lug nut goes through the spacer. This allows you to run stock length studs without any issues.
I have an extra pair of 1320 billet spacers if you'd like to buy them, new never used all you would need to buy is the lug nuts.
Here a few pics of my car.

Most wheels manufactures that make a skinny front runner just use standard measurements. Only differences are the bolt patterns.

185/55/17 M&H or 26x6x17 MT for the front.
How much power are you making? That will make the difference for rear tire recommendation. Unless you just want it to fill the tire well, then the 305/45/17 will work.
