I'm also wondering if I can use the same lug nuts?

The alignment you see in my post above, the printout, was done with 205/60/15 Yokohama Avid H4S. That is the exact tire and size that I have on my Legend right now. The tire works great. It's quiet, great in rain, comfortable, but lacks in handling compared to a V rated tire. Our cars call for a V rated tire. Even my Legend calls for a V rated tire. The other problem that I have is that they are wearing down real quick, especially on the front tires since the Legend is a front wheel drive car. Most of teh wear is on teh sidewall. I put the Yokohama Avid H4S tires on the Legend, because I was hoping to get increased mileage with them over the last set which was the Yokohama AVS dB S2. They only lasted 11,000 miles on the Legend. I had the Legend aligned 3 times this year, had the tires rotated at the scheduled time, and I check the pressure regularly and still they wore out quick. The 300ce just got the Michelin MXV4 S8 195/65/15 V rated. So far they seem to work real well considering I've driven approximately 25 miles on them.
Btw I love the look of the 8 hole wheel on these cars. Congratulations on your purchase
