Guest 280ZForce Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 sweet another member in Corona! sorry, dont have a spare lug nut for you though. Just go down to the local auto parts store w/ 1 of the lugs and get an aftermarket 1 for a few bucks. that's cheaper than driving to nearest jy.

Savage42 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 The factory aluminum wheels require Nissan factory lug nuts, as the shank diameter is different. You can certainly drive around on 3 lugs, just don't go autocrossing or on a road course that way! They are expensive lug nuts and are a dealer or JY only part. Good luck.

DRTY260Z Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 You could also try a tire shop, who knows maybe they'll have one or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbesheer Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Well I went to Kragen and they sold me a lug nut for like a dollar so I figured I would try it. It says 12x1.5 on the side of it, not sure what that means. Also when I went down there the guy said someone had called and asked about the same lug nut for my car... So who was it ?

CalifaThugz Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I never knew that they actually sold aftermarket lugs but eh. What don't they make aftermarket? People just want to make more money ha ha thats what I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who was it ?I'm pretty sure the Datsun lug nuts need to be 12x1.25 not 12x1.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage42 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I'm pretty sure the Datsun lug nuts need to be 12x1.25 not 12x1.5. Yep, that is correct. Datsun is 12x1.25 and Toyota is 12x1.5. Close, but not quite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
