You should be able to use the stock lug nuts for them. I am pretty sure, you can get them at most Auto Parts stores. And congrats on getting the Turbo wheels!

They are medium shank mag style lug nuts 12x1.25 Any decent parts store should carry them.

Yup... It's an "Industry" term.

Speaking of lugnuts, it looks like Wildman is missing one on his rear passenger rim

Hey, that not's nice LOL! Yeah I have to replace some wheel bolts on my Z. I have them, just haven't got around to putting them on. I have to take practically everything off the wheel. Including the rotors, calipers, and such. And then the get the old ones out, and get them to thread back in the holes. They are a PITA, and take some time. I have replaced them before on my '81.

the 240SX is 4x4.5 like our Z. The 200SX might be different though.

I think it was the S13 that had the same pattern as ours, but the S14 went to a 5 lug.

Nifty. lww, the S14s did go to a 5 bolt, however if it's anything other than the LE, SE, and so on, then it's a 4-bolt, same as ours, and the S13. There's also a few guys running around with 5-bolt swaps on their S13s, and ran the 4-bolts on their S14s.

Funny how universal this bolt pattern really is ... I've got my 6-spoke Z wheels on my FC Rx7 ...

Nah. My brother is though. They're still on the car because it's currently parked in the street, and the tags don't expire until January, so I'm good until I get her registered.

Thanks guys. It's appreciated. She's the daily-driver, currently out of commision. Popped a U-joint on the trans tailshaft, and in the process of breaking that, it broke my shift linkage mount.

Soooooo ... she's going nowhere just as fast as my Zed.
