since the topic is currently on lug nuts. what are good locking/security nuts?

 

The red Ray's are awesome. They would look great with LMGT's, especially with the red O.

JjL - Sorry about our deal man...it just makes me nervous. Good question though, I'm not sure if Ray's makes one or not.

 

Yea, its really only that particular picture that makes them look really good. When they're brand new. But yea that is a big problem for me, spending that much money for lugs that will eventually turn pink. I liked these which I had..nice and simple, just get some locks and you'll be set.

No worries I already ordered the rears (18x10.5 +15) and just waiting for them to get shipped to me. I'll post some pics when I get them on the car.

As for locking nuts i'm pretty sure not all nuts fit the holes. even stock lugs don't fit i think so those bulky lock nuts are out of the question.

 

so if i understood you right, oem lugs from 35th anniv. will not fit lmgt4's? My wheels are in Arkansas, so I cant test fit atm. Rays lugs are nice, however the finish on them isnt the greatest.

 

well its been way too long when I last check but I remember I always had to use the black lugs that came with my old lmgt4 cause even with a 17mm socket it was a very tight fit and I had to use a chrome 17mm socket rather then the black deep impact socket since those where bulkier.

with a nismo lug key that came with the wheels (same size as a 17mm chrome socket)

 

Does anybody know whether the 19x9.5 +25, +23, or +20 size for the rear would fit a 350Z WITHOUT fender rolling while clearing the Akebono calipers from a 370Z? I haven't seen these sizes on a 350Z.

 

mcgard lugs Ftw!

Also +25 fits fine on the rear as I've seen in person. Given the space I have with my +30's I think you will be more than fine with the akebonos.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but taking the differences in rim width and offsets into consideration, the 19x9.5 +20 wheels should stick out roughly the same as the 18x8.5 +33 V2 Touring wheels with a 25mm spacer, correct? I'm really considering these wheels.

 

9.5 +20 will need a roll if you are dropped. I'm @ +15 dropped and I'm more than 10mm into the fender. I think +25 would be the magic number not to roll.

Also that is for a 275 tire. Stretch and you could probably pull it off.

 

I agree with Ruthless although a reputable shop could cut your fenders for less than $100 rather than not lowering it or getting the proper tire.

I'm not sure about the Akebonos, but I couldn't imagine +20 being an issue given the wheel design. I guess worst case scenario you could pickup a small 3mm spacer to clear it?

 

Just roll your fenders, and get the lowest offset you can. Trust me!

 

Great info guys, thanks.

 

yeah baby!
after months of looking for a set of 19" LMGT4's I finally found a mint set for a fair price!
pics coming soon (:

 

I hate you . Congrats, and yes, pics!!!

 

Does anyone know the colorcode of the later model nismo wheels (18" front & 19" rear)?

I think my 19" LMGT4's will look sick in that color on my Lemans Sunset.

 

Rays doesn't release their codes.

 

You would be the first person that I know of that would paint them that darker silver color.

Good luck!!

 

try this color. only 500 were made of this color

 

Those are NOICE!!! I'd sport them on my LeMans Sunset.
