I prefer the thread through ones just in case you ever put NHRA legal long studs in. I made the mistake, and ended up buying lug nuts twice.

I'll say this. Having run a stock tire up front with a slick out back, it's scary. If you intend to run a soft wall tire in the back, you kind of need the skinnies up front. A wide stiff tire on the front starts fighting the wide soft tire in the back around 100mph. The car just starts going everywhere, and there isn't much you can do to correct it. I was amazed at how stable the car got at high speed when I switched to a skinny in the front. On a street car, I wouldn't bother. Not to mention, if you are looking at buying big and littles, you probably currently have wheels on your car, or at least I would hope so. There is no reason you couldn't swap wheels depending on conditions.
