i baught a set of 17" asa's w. blizzaks off a member on this site.. i tried putting these wheels on today but noticed the lug hole were much smaller so i can't get the tire iron in there to tighten the lug nut. im thinking i need those 'tuner' style lug nuts that require a key-type adaptor. my question is... is my assumption right?


and what is the tuner lug nut size/thread pattern that i need? it's about to snow so soon here! and im very anxious to know soon!

If you can't fit the standard lug wrench in the hole, then you definitely need some "tuner" lug nuts. The Standard size lug nuts are 21mm, you'll probably need 19mm.

And yes, all Nissan vehicles use 12 x 1.25 mm studs.

I had the same problem with my Volks. I paid over $3000 for my wheels/tires so I also wanted the extra security. I ended up getting a set of after market lugs/locks because they look a whole lot better and they give you the extra security with the 7 sided, not 6, design. But if you don't feel like putting money into lugs, you can go to places like discount tires and request that they use a thin socket verses the regular ones. You can also buy these thin sockets from places like AutoZone. So my point is, you don't have to buy new lugs if you really don't want to. There are ways around it. Also for the Z, our lug size is 12mmx1.25.
