metalmonkey47 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Ones as pretty as the rims Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 I have a couple sets of Muteki lug nuts. They seem decent and can be found fairly cheap. Quote Link to comment

thisismatt Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 What do those run? I want to say I paid about $35 for a set of 20 of the open-ended shorter style. Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 If they are the same as panasports and wats......... just go to any tire shop and ask for 19mm 12x1.25 cone-tapered lug nuts...... should be about $1 each The reason you need 19mm: the standard ones are too big to fit in the rims And 510s don't have long enough studs to safely drive with ANY sapcers........ .. just trying to keep yo car safe Quote Link to comment

Thanks for the info Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Oh, you can have the lug nuts I pulled off my 510 when I got it. I think I hold the record for the most mismatched lugs on a car...ever. A total of 7 different styles: Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 No Matt is wrong again... ....... these are the nuts you want:.......... 19mm socket.... 12X1.25 pitch Quote Link to comment

dennis Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Just go to discount tire or americas tire (same place). They sell Gorilla locking acorn style locking lugs for around 30.00 plus they come packed for 5 lugs so you will have some spares. If you need a pic and or part number let me know, I still have the box in my back seat along with the 4 spares. Quote Link to comment

I should be able to find something with the info posted here. Thanks Quote Link to comment
Ultramagnus Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I might have to run spacers if I switch to 280 zx struts. i suggest upgrading your lug studs if you do go w/ 280zx struts and even in the rear,spacers or no spacers just my .02. Quote Link to comment
Logical1 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Is it possible/has anyone ever machined out their acorn style lug wheels so you can use mag lugs? I have a bunch of cool mag lugs floating around but most wheels take acorn style... Just curious Quote Link to comment
arkitekz Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Nice wheels. I think I went with open end muteki type lug nuts since I upgraded to ARP wheel studs for length. They cost me like 30 bucks when i bought wheels. Enjoy Quote Link to comment

Yeah, I do plan on using longer studs in the near future. I swapped out the ones on my 521. The lugnuts were barely grabbing with the spacers. Better safe than sorry. Quote Link to comment

arkitekz Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 100-7708 (2.5") or 100-7713 (3.25"). I bought the 100-7708 with 2.5 length, but both would work. I guess the longer ones would be more popular with people running wider wheels and flares. The thread pitch is 12x1.5. I believe the nissan one is 12x1.25. So make sure you buy lug nuts with proper thread pitch. Good Luck. Dont worry, all Datsun's are badasses when u see them on the road. What size rim, offset did you get? I have 16x7 +22. Now I want to get some 15x7.5 or even 15x8 0 offset. I have the 280zx suspension and have to use 3/4" spacer in front. Funny thing is someone on this forum has same setup but only needed to use 1/4 spacer. Go figure. Quote Link to comment
jefe de jefes Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 16x7 , +22 Can't really remember the offset , bought these 1-2 years ago. Thanks for the info Ark. Quote Link to comment
arkitekz Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I have the same exact wheels. You car will look hot. Hard turns are a little tough with my stance. Thats why I want to get 15's so I can lower it more. lol Enjoy wheels Quote Link to comment
dennis Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 here you go. I bought mine open ended just in case I ever bought longer studs. Part number is :DT#82896/ 20023SDD 12mm x 1.25 Quote Link to comment
jefe de jefes Posted August 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Schwing! Who are these through? Quote Link to comment
dennis Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Schwing! Who are these through? Americas Tire or Discount Tire (they are the same place). I'm showing 4 of them in Fresno! They are made by Gorilla. Quote Link to comment
