Winter Rim Lug Nuts
 
1 Attachment(s)
I picked up a set of winter rim / tires earlier this year and the stock lug nut will not fit in the A7 18" Aluminum rim I bought. Any recommendations on lug nuts for this winter tire set-up?
I went to NAPA and they had some open ended lug nuts, but they seem pretty small and wouldn't mind something a little beefer.

I thought about just getting a different lug nut from Nissan off another vehicle? I assume they use M12 x 1.25 on all there vehicles.

Here's what I used - you can definately go cheaper - just look for M12 x 1.25 60 degree "tapered"/"tuner"/"acorn" style lug nuts.

Thanks they certainly look a lot stronger than the NAPA lug nuts they gave me. The nissan dealership also had something that would work, but I bet it would be over $100 bucks to get a full set.
What winter rims are you running? same as mine?

I've got 18" RE30's, most aftermarket rims use the same sort of lug nut though

you need an conical style nut for most aftermarket rims. These are readily available (I have some for sale)...most aftermarket lugs are conical.

stock lugs are shank...can't be used with much besides stock rims.
