Rim Question

When you replace the 98 5-star SE wheels, with 2000+ Nissan Rims, do the '98 lug nuts still fit. FOr some reason, I though they used a different type. Not sure where I got that idea.

Lugs

I'm not talking bolt pattern. I really am referring to a different type of lug nut. Do they all use the standard chrome acorn nut?

As MDeezy said, you're only replacing the rims, not the studs. The lugnuts still fit on as if you were using the stock rims. Same with any other aftermarket rim, assuming it's the same bolt pattern, you just put on the rim and the lugnuts still work.

I think 95-06 use the same studs, M12x1.25 (oddly enough, that's the same spec that our oil pan drain plugs are...random knowledge). I know 2nd gens use a different size, but not sure about 5th/6th being the same.
