upgrade lug bolts Qs

[blazinva]

Sup my fellow R fanatic..today i just notice how rusty my lug bolts are .so it time for a upgrade. What size of lug bolts fit this car?. Btw im running on aftermarket wheel 18x8 et 45 thanks.

Basic thread is M14 x 1.5 pitch.

You would want to specify "ball seat" or spherical for the OEM wheels. Most aftermarket wheels are "cone seat".

I don't know the length you want, you'd need to understand how "thick" your wheel is at the hub. The knowledge I'm sharing is from my messing with track studs. I'm running a 65mm stud, but that dimension is more or less meaningless to your Q.

I think most folks just pull out one lug, and assuming you're happy with it, you measure the length and buy similar again.

Thanks mr.peach for the knowledge. Btw i know stock bolts is 27mm ..since im running on a aftermarket wheel (18x8) which is 0.5 INCHs wider than stock wheels. My question is should i buy a longer lug bolts like 32mm?

[Mr_Peach]

The 0.5 inch difference you cite (7.5 to 8.0) is in the width of the rim.

The dimension you're struggling to identify is the width of the wheel hub (I think that's the nomenclature). I don't know how much that varies from brand to brand.

Guys who run spacers get really good at spec'ing wheel lug length. I'm not one of them, to date.

why don't you just buy the bolts you already have again?

They do a cone and ball seat lug just for our car in 3 lengths.
You could also get a cone seat with a cone to ball spacers/adapter comversion.

Hope this helps

this is actually a good topic.

I was looking at those mevius bolts even before this thread wasn't sure what the stock bolt size was, but looks like a consensus of 14x1.5mm 27mm long and are 17mm nut.

looks like they are sold in 27mm, 40mm, and 50mm.

so my question is, is 40mm too long to fit without spacers? (just thinking, if I end up putting spacers down the road the extra length would be useful)

But my gut is telling me to stick with the 27mm without spacers would be a safer bet?

Sorry to BUMP this.

I'm looking for aftermarket colored bolts to match the wheels I just traded for.





And the bolts are 14x1.5 27MM?
