Wheel Locks Issue

cranzy · 04-15-2015, 10:17 PM

Hey guys,

so I was about to put spacers(20mm) on both front and rear, and then I found out that I have special nuts on all 4 rims. Of course I don't have the key, so I can't take my wheels off. I went to Nissan and they said they can't remove them because the wheel locks are not Nissan's. I tried my local Les schwab but they don't have a lug nut to fit the wheel lock. I've attached a picture of the wheel lock. Any ideas what can I do?

You can remove them, but it will destroy them.

I am fine with destroying them. I already have 4 original nuts which I bought of my local Nissan dealership. The thing is, nobody seems to take the risk to remove/destroy the wheel locks because they might damage the rims.

Watch this video.
I hope it helps.

Yep.

Holy sh*t! I'm retarded for sure. Thanks a lot Mr.nismo! I watched the video and as soon as the guy said check for the key at trunk, glove compartment, and armrest... I was like let me check the armrest... the key was there. Thanks again and I'm sorry for the stupid question/thread.

I will post pictures once I put the spacers. Hopefully 20mm won't be too much for the front wheels?

Looks like a McGard lock/key if you need a spare from one of their retailers.

Thanks guys! Here are the pictures after I added the 20mm spacers(front and back).
