Recently I purchased 17 inch rims and snow tires through Craiglist. My current time size is 18 inch and I thought I can downsize without any issue. But last week I took my car to Nissan dealer to do the tire/wheel change and they didn't do it saying studs are shorter to fit the new rims. Is there a way to fix this issue and use these rims and tires on my Z?
Tire Specifications are as below-
New Tire Size:
17" Front: 225/50-17
17" Rear: 225/55-17
Current Tie Size:
18" Front: 225/45-18
18" Rear: 245/45-18
Lug Pattern:
5*114.3
Thank You Everyone!

Sometimes, the size and offset are cast into the back of the wheel (usually near the hub). But you can also research the wheel if you know who manufactured it and what model it is. Are we trying to advise you on aftermarket wheels, or are these OEM Z wheels?

What? If the dealer is saying the studs are too short, how is a lug nut with extended thread going to help? There will just be more unused threads on the lug nut.
I don't really understand what issue the OP is having, horribly incorrect offset like someone already mentioned sounds likely. But if he does in fact have too short of studs, different lug nuts won't help.
