I love this kind of projects. Mix and match OEM parts to achieve a factory look & feel with custom performance. Good luck, would love to see ur progress.
Also, 2 weeks ago the "Replace your engine" light went on. P0430. Bank 2 catalytic converter died. Downstream O2 sensor readings clearly indicated that. I replaced it with the brand new OEM converter. That was not cheap!!!
The removal of it was not too difficult, but still a PITA. Of course...
New wheels & tires for *winter: factory Z71 18" gunmetal wheels wrapped in TOYO Open Country AT3 LT285/65R18.
No rubbing either.
* I live in Northern Comifornia, so summer vs winter is barely distinguishable. But I travel to Tahoe in winter, and it's snowy there in January.

I used to live in Twin Peaks, but the rent out there is crazy. I am paying the same price now for a 2 story 2BR/2BA house with an attached garage the same that I used to pay for a 1BR apartment out there.
I always though American manufacturers switched to metric ages ago. That should be M6 nut. Any local HD definitely has them in stock.

My guess would be that the imbalance might cause slow down/speed up at some crankshaft positions. It's been a while since physics classes, I have a feeling it might happen, but I can't explain the physics behind it.
This is what GM has to say on this topic:

I attached GM Service manual extract, check out #12.
Basically, the crankshaft does not have a keyway, so balancer can be installed in any position, and since these parts are balanced separately, it can potentially throw off misfire detection due to slight fluctuation in RPM between cylinders.
