Anyway, got them back on and got everything together, but didn't even notice that they put the wrong wheel locks on at the dealership and I busted one, now its stuck. So, I am going to the dealership for an alignment and to let them deal with it since its their mistake. I didn't even ask for locks!
Reference this TSB.

I read both of them, but I have been doing so much between the powdercoating business and working the mods in at the same time, that I kind of forgot. The service manager at the dealership gave me some attitude when I went in today, especially when I referenced the TSB, which I had printed, so I went to the GM who I had talked to for quite a while when buying it and at later delivery. He had wanted to see the car after mods, so I told him they were done, but thats not why I was there. I explained the wrong locking lugs, and that when I took them off the car, they were only finger tight. He wasn't real happy.

Service said it would be 2-4 hours because they were really busy and that I would have to make an appointment for an alignment later. The GM gave me a new Altima off the lot to drive and said to come back as late as I want, before closing. Within an hour I had a message from the service guy that the lug was replaced, and when I came in he was very polite and also informed me that they don't have the specs for the alignment for a stock 370 yet.

Regardless, it is fixed.
