ronnny Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Got some wheels tires and nuts. The lug nuts i was gave (got for free), are 12 x1.5 which is what autozone and advance list as what are on my truck. A few messed up studs later I checked and have 1/2-20 studs. Stanard on a truck that should be metric. But any way if advance and autozone list as my truck being 12mm and not the 1/2 the idiots for sure would not be able to get the right ones since thier computer will not tell them. So where can i go other than the nissan dealer to get a few new studs? I do not like to order of line, i like to see what i am getting. Life is good. Things like this just keep them interesting.

Tristin Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 You could always just find out what other vehicles use the 1/2-20 studs and tell the people in AutoZone that thats the truck you have. Then they should give you the right ones... Quote Link to comment

Skulptr Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Sounds to me like someone changed the studs in the past and either used what they had or what ever was cheapest. Change em out. To to the jy and a hammer and go at it. Back ones are easy to get if you can get the drums off. Quote Link to comment
c10jim Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Often the guys that run the counter at the tire and or custom wheel shops know where to get the wheel studs. It seems to be a common issue with their business. Quote Link to comment
c10jim Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 One more thing,When it comes to import vehicles I only go to autozone for belts,hoses,filters and fluids. This comes from a guy working in the import field since the late seventies. Quote Link to comment
nissanprerunnerdavid Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I just told the guys at nap pa the size and length and they ordered them. Quote Link to comment
Smyrna720 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 For the record, since I couldn't find 12x1.25 lug nuts to suit my wheels, I junkyarded some longer studs from a GM product and switched to 12x1.5. Now I can run the correct bulge seat nuts for my wheels. FWIW. Quote Link to comment
ronnny Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Sorry been working a bit and not done anything. Since i have a set of the right style lug nut in a 12x1.5 will go get a couple and see if they go in the spindle right. If they do i will change all of them to the same. I would really like to find some cheap steel 16" wheels but i have not looked for them yet either. The problem is most newer trucks do not run a locking hub on the front so most have a 3" center and not a 4" center. Thanks for the input yall. May be my easter weekend project. Quote Link to comment
Skulptr Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Easy fix for the center hole. Have a machine shop bore 2 of them out. Thats what I did, cost me ten bucks Quote Link to comment
