Don: That grade 8 bolt is very important. Back when my son was about 18, I was going away for the day, he was going to work the 130 all day. I told him to put a wrench on the wheel bolts as we had them off a few days before. I got home that evening and he told me that after his days work the wheels were loose again. I took 2 of the grade 5 bolts out. He had used a 3/4 drive with a long handle and streched the 5/8 bolts to a point they were only about 3/8 in the middle. Now, those grade 5 bolt were old and pited with rust, I had used them one day in a hurry, always intended to exchange them for grade 8. Yes, grade 8 very important especially when you have a young lad with a big wrench. I have a 6' railroad crowbar, my grand father got it when he was a young man. Through 4 generations, the 4th generation was the first to bend it. He sheared Christmas trees every summer as a teenager, that job tends to put arms and shoulders on one, much like a body builder. After that I always had fun kidding him if we were doing wrenching. I'd tell him to use a 6" handle for tightening wheels.
