  • G35 vs 300ZX wheel lug nuts

    My G35 wheels arrived today. Is it safe to use the stock Z lug nuts or should I use switch to the G35 ones. Does anyone know the difference between them? The Z nuts seem to work but do not screw down as far on the G35 wheels as they do on the stock Turbo wheels. Keep in mind I plan to buy a good set of spacers from the TSS. Any response out there is welcome.

    The Z lug nuts are fine, BUT you're going to need some longer wheel studs. With the added depth of the spacers and the new design of the wheel, your stock wheel studs simply are too short.

      I think he means wheel adapters, not spacers.

        Correction Wheel adapters

        What are the differences though. I requested a set of 25mm from TSS. Should I be more specific with my request?

          I guess I'm confused? Are you getting spacers or wheel adapters? If you're getting wheel adapters with 25mm wheel studs, you should be fine.

            I would be suprised if there were such things as 1" spacers. Adapters usually bolt onto the hub and have another set of studs on them that the wheels bolt onto. Hence, they can "adapt" different wheels to fit your car.

              I had to go with the conical lug for my 350 z wheels

              Terrible idea putting those wheels on...

                adapters typically don't have giant studs, you'd still be in the same situation as now just further out, use the g35 lugs

                  Im running the exact same wheels and have been for almost a year. Im not using any spacers at all and spline drive lugnuts (for those who may not know...its a normal conical seat where you need a key to go over the lugnut...hence "spline drive"
                  You can use regular acorn seat lugnuts from the auto parts store or you can even grab some e/t style lugs with a lugcentric shank, which isnt really needed since the wheel is hubcentric anyways.

                  long and short...as long as you have a 60 degree conical seat lugnut (almost every lugnut in existence besides for mercedes, bmw, porsche, volkswagen) then you are good brotha....... :idea:
                  Who are you to tell me my uninformed opinion is wrong?!?!?

                      Yeah....the adapters I'm selling him have everything he needs, including the lug nuts.
                      *All you do is...(haha)
                      Remove the stock wheel.
                      Put on the adapter using the origninal lug nuts.
                      Put the G35 wheel on the adapter and secure it with the new lug nuts that come with the adapters.
                      Wheeeeee!
