Keep the Lugs?

Hey guys!

Ive searched around the forums for the last couple of days but cant seems to find the answer.


I JUST purchased some 18" 350z Touring rims and tires from Ebay. Wicked excited to get them on my Maxima. So far, I've read up on how they may rub, and a fender roll in the rear might need to be done, especially since I have Eibach Pro Kits with Illuminas on the car already. However, I'm not sure if i can use my stock lug nuts. I currently have the OE 17" 6 spokers. Any help in the right direction would be great.


Thanks!

Yes. But since the offset is greater, the lug holes in the wheels are deeper. You need to take great care in threading them (or any lugnut) or you will strip the threads and break the stud when you next go to remove it. I also suggest apply some anti-seize on your studs as well.
