No mods required to run the steel Z wheels with
regular tapered centering lug nuts. You will however
have a problem popping on your hub caps, because they
do not have the clips. You would need to weld clips
onto the Z wheels, but probably not very hard to do.
Should accept the tire sizes you are considering (I
would go with the 185's just because of the 5.5" wheel
width)... my 2c
