Hey! Thanks for your response. They are not stock lug nuts. Stock wheels used to have a wheel lock lug nut set. When I bought the car the owner lost the key. So I got all the old lugs off and had to use a lug gripper tool to get the wheel locks off. Then my friend gave me open ended tapered seat lug set to use instead. Those are what I have on the car now with the new wheels. But you bring up a good point! I have no idea if the lugs I have are 45 or 60 degree seat. Do you reccomend I get a new set of lugs? I’ll try to find out which degree seating I need for these SSR GTV02 wheels. Also I installed extended studs because when I got the wheels I noticed that there wasn’t too much thread on the studs because of the offset difference. I drove it on stock studs like 100 feet, and noticed that the lugs were real easy to take off. After installing extended studs the lugs hold very tight and did not loosen after a quick drive around town. Studs made no difference in noise, I originally thought the short amount of thread on stock studs were the issue. I believe the nismo have longer studs than base model (I have a base model). I installed the extended Z1 studs.
