Are these 4th gen lug nuts...pics
These are the only lug nuts that I can get to work with my Q45 rims. They are M12 1.25 with a 19mm hex. I have four of them but I can't remeber where I got them from...I think they are maxima lug nuts. Do these look familiar. I can't find them anywhere. The way the Q45 rims are, 21mm hex won't fit in the inset. I went by my local Nissan dealer ship but they were not really wanting to help me look through all the possible maxima lug nuts to see if they could match it up

No, I am trying to find more of the "rusted" ones. They are not really that rusty, it just the pics. Don't you see how the chrome caped ones like you have just don't work with my rims. The inset of the lug hole is just to deep and narrow. The lug actually gets wedged in there and it strips the lug.

If they were yours then get me some more!
I think that those open-end ones are 3rd gen ones. When i took off my McGards, I used some 3rd gen ones, and they worked under the Q-rims center casp (for the 3 days that I had them on and running).
Try 3rd gen lugs from an SE.

I think all rims that nissan has with the exposed lugs get the chrome acorn lugs. All the wheels with center caps that cover the lugs get the open ended ones. I have 3rd gen wheels and my stock chrome lugs fit fine. Looks like you have 4 OEM nissan ones from a car with wheel covers/center caps.
What ever ones wrok for you make sure they seat propely on the tapered part of the hole. If they dont you could loose a wheel, trust me on this.

I never thought about going to discount tire. They had them for $1.50 each. Thanks!
