And now I cant get my rear rims on... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I drive an S14 and after all the problems I've had with my car, it is finally ready for some drift nights. Oh but wait, tonight I tried to put on my rims that are wrapped in brand new rubber and guess what. The fronts come off fine, and my new rims and new muteki lug nuts go on (I needed some cheap after market lugs because my advan rims cant fit the normal ones). After that I do to take off my rear stocks and realize that all the lug nuts are bigger. Well after a few seconds I realize that not only are the lug nuts a bit bigger, so is the BOLT! And my new lugs dont fit the bigger bolts... Does anyone out there know why my car would have bigger bolts on the rear? Would they be from another car, and am I going to be able to order new lug nuts that will still fit inside advan rims?

Thanks for reading...

Hammer out a stud.

And go to a hardware store and get the size of the stud.

Go to kragen or somewhere and find the matching lugnuts. or look for some aftermarket ones online.

humm that's strange. are they bigger diameter or just coarser thread pitch?

take the lug nuts that were on the studs to a hardware store and find out what size they are. they're SUPPOSED to be 12 x 1.25 all around.

if they're the right diameter you might want to just buy 10 new studs that are the right thread pitch, so you can be normal again.

you stole my 1st reply spot

if they're bigger diameter you'll need new hubs too... or else the stock sized ones will just rattle around.
