I'd use the highest grade you can get honestly... can't be too safe when it comes to the rotating assembly

There's probably a good reason why ARP bolts/nuts cost 10x that of anything you get at a hardware store........in other words...why risk it, get replacements. Believe it or not, PROPER bolt/nut combos with just the right amount of torque are quite complex.
+1 please don't get nuts from the hardware store... You're dealing with engine internals here, these things are under huge amounts of stress and having the proper torque on them is critical. Get the right nuts from ARP and use the proper lube and torque specs.
