I have a set of stock Evo 8 wheels I am planning on putting on my 95 maxima. The bolt pattern is the same and the offset will work, but I am told that I cannot use the stock lug nuts since the wheel holes are different. I am wondering what style lug nuts evos use stock so I can look for them in the proper thread pitch. The Evo are 12x1.5 and my maxima is 12x1.25. If anyone has a picture or any advice I would appreciate it. So far the only advice I have received is to use washers under the lug nuts, but I do not want to do that since I will be putting stress on the wheels during autocrosses. Thanks for any help.

they are shouldered nuts with washers. i have not seen them in a 12x1.25 pitch though, every one i keep in stock is 12x1.5.


may want to check with dorman and see.

a 611-137 may work, check to see what the id is on the stud hole.

I am not having much luck finding a picture of a shouldered nut, and since I don't know what one is that is a problem. I know someone who used some sort of extended shank lug nuts with washers.

What washers are rated to be used on wheels? I never knew any company made lug nuts that were made to be used with washers. Also, I don't know who dorman is...I'm guessing thats a company that sells lug nuts?

Thanks for that picture. Do you know where I can buy nuts like that in 12x1.25? Also what is that little wavy thing that is under the waser? Is the washer attached to the nut or is it loose on there?

How do you suggest I measure the ID on the wheel holes? I don't have a caliper...do you think it time to buy one?
