MrMartinPGrant Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) My 370Z GT Edition came from the dealer fitted with Nismo LMGT4 wheels, i have read some where that these wheels don't use normal after market wheels nuts, some have said they use the flat type and some have said they are not flat, i'm so confused, there are pictures of my wheel nuts and you can also see in the pictures of the wheel, that they do have a flat ridge and then a bit of a tapered bit inside where the nuts go. are these the right wheels nuts? and does anyone know where i can get the right nuts red colour in a long version Edited March 7, 2016 by MrMartinPGrant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-G- Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) Tarmac Sportz do some very reasonably priced steel combo nuts in black and red. Give them a PM and they'll hook you up. Edited March 7, 2016 by -G- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHEZZA Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Why not treat the zed to some nice genuine ones. http://www.nengun.com/nismo/wheel-nut-set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I've no idea if this applies to your wheels, but the OEM Nismo wheels I have (different design to yours) have a specific type of nut with a sort of revolving washer built in to them (sorry - I am sure there is a more accurate way of describing them). I think it is supposed to be risky/dangerous to fit non OEM style wheel nuts to wheels which require this sort of nut. They look like this: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=nismo+oem+wheel+nuts+370z&safe=off&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj3kZXLiK7LAhVLXRoKHUuSDzsQ_AUIBygB&biw=1920&bih=947#imgrc=6h3B8Zm4tycEcM%3A Hopefully somebody will be along soon to confirm the correct type of wheel nut for yours.

Ebized Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) As you are using the LMGT4 rims (for the 350's), you are using the correct nuts. I used these rims on my 370 for a short while with the 350 nuts. Had you been using the 370 Nismo rims then yes, you should be using the nuts as Sipar has linked.

SHEZZA Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Providing the thread on the 370 lugs is the same as the 350 1.25 I believe, the ones I've link too are the correct ones for the LMGT4's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 This is the correct lug nuts for the Nismo LMGT4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give them a PM and they'll hook you up. i was on the tarmac site looking, but i don't know which ones i need Why not treat the zed to some nice genuine ones. http://www.nengun.co...o/wheel-nut-set :O the price of them lol I've no idea if this applies to your wheels, but the OEM Nismo wheels I have (different design to yours) have a specific type of nut with a sort of revolving washer built in to them (sorry - I am sure there is a more accurate way of describing them).

They look like this: https://www.google.c...6h3B8Zm4tycEcM: Hopefully somebody will be along soon to confirm the correct type of wheel nut for yours. i found out that these OEM 370z nuts won't fit because of the width of the washer part, i think that's what he meant, that they won't go into the hole. As you are using the LMGT4 rims (for the 350's), you are using the correct nuts. I used these rims on my 370 for a short while with the 350 nuts. Had you been using the 370 Nismo rims then yes, you should be using the nuts as Sipar has linked. i don't know, are they different for the 350Z and 370z?, these came on the car. i'm just thinking, these nuts do look like the OEM nuts from a 350Z edit - sorry i read your comment wrong, now i understand, so these nuts are the right nuts to use with these wheels on a 370Z, thanks just need to find a long version in red. Providing the thread on the 370 lugs is the same as the 350 1.25 I believe, the ones I've link too are the correct ones for the LMGT4's This is the correct lug nuts for the Nismo LMGT4. see this is where i'm so confused, they look like 60 degree tapered ones, but all the info i find says you can't use 60 degree tapered nuts with these wheels, this is doing my head in lol Edited March 7, 2016 by MrMartinPGrant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMartinPGrant Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) ZMANALEX, actually the pic of the ones you posted do look the same as the link SHEZZA posted http://www.nengun.co...o/wheel-nut-set they must be the right ones, now if i could only find them at a lot less than £95.00 Edited March 7, 2016 by MrMartinPGrant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) Your Nismo wheels were supplied for the 350s but they do fit the 370's. As long as you use the tapered style of nut with those wheels you are fine. Do NOT use the flat bottom/washered style that are specifically for the 370 wheels. Having seen the nuts ZMANALEX supplied I recall these were supplied with with the LMGT4's although the standard 350 OEM nuts do fit, iirc. The longer version are better though so that there is less chance of your socket slipping off and damaging the nut recess's on the wheels - but I taped my sockets as an added preventative to avoid damage as the recess diameter is very restricted on the LMGT4's.

The image I posted up are the genuine OEM Nismo LMGT4 black steel lugs that come with the original LMGT4 wheels. These are what you want, if you want to stay authentic. Remember that the normal size hex will not fit in the LMGT4 wheel aperture, as it is smaller. The size you require is M12XP1.25 17mm hex. If you go more than 17mm hex you will damage the wheel. Plenty in stock if you are not sorted. Alex. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
