Current:
Front 225/35/19 RFT (8.0 width I believe)
Rear 255/30/19 RFT (9.0 width I believe)
Change to:
Front 225/35/19 RFT
Rear 265/30/19 Non RFT
Long term, when the fronts need changing:
Front 235/35/19 Non RFT
Rear 265/30/19 Non RFT
1 - Do you see any issues with those sizes, from everything I've read, I think this should be ok, just wasn't sure about mixing tyres widths and RFT/Non RFT tyres.
2 - Want new wheel bolts for my new wheels, I know they have 17mm head - but do I need longer bolts for the rear ??? Are they the 60 degree cone ones ? Can anyone give me specs I need or a link to buy.
3 - Want to get new locking wheels nuts, McGard seem to be ok - anybody purchased these and do you know the part number for my wheel combo?
Thanks...

1. No probs with the sizes, many peeps are running 235/265 setup
2.

give them a ring and tell them what you want.
Great company over in Chessington (Nr World of Adventure)
3. As above, they do their own locking nuts, and I highly recommend them
