Guys went to my mechanic and he installed my bumper looks perfect you guys can be the judge of it in our next meet.

Problem, my mechanic said i new new lugs because of my rims. He suggest the McGuard ones but I don't know the size of our nuts and he mention the cone shape ones. Which do I need if anyone can help.

Thanks

 

you probably need tuner lugs. any of those aftermarket ones would do i think.

i'm assuming it's going to be the same as the 350Z, the specs should be 12x1.25

 

So the McGuard tuner lugsS? he said the rays will not work with my rims cuz they are too big if he put the socket it will scratch the rims

 

Can you post some pictures? As long as you can fit the nut and the socket in without a problem, you should be fine (leave some room for the socket to wriggle around tho).

I hope this would help...

 

rays are too big? They're skinnier than my OEM lugs....weird.

i thought the problem was that you needed tuner lugs so that they make the correct contact with the rim socket. That's what the cone shape comment suggested to me.

 

Doesn't your mechanic have a "slim profile" socket? If he uses a regular socket, it probably will scratch the wheel holes as it's too big.

I use the RAYS lug nuts too and I bought a Craftsman slim profile socket & torque wrench at Sears, coz I change my own wheels in my driveway.

The tuner style lug nuts are also an alternate, as a "key" inserts into the lug nut to turn them from the inside, and therefore preventing scratches around the wheel holes.

 

I agree on the cone shape comment.

Is he not speaking about the OE nuts when he is referring to the Rays (19" OE)?

 

Here is the pic of the bumper and headlights, the fitments is perfect

Looks great

 

hey is that the gialla grill?

and if so where did u get it eric?

btw that driveway and z and trees look so familair

looks like where i live.

or close by

 

it's not the gialla grill, the Top Secret bumper replaces the grill as well. It's one piece and attached to the bumper.

Eric, did you figure out your lug nut issue?

 

Well i think I know what my mechanic means now. He did not want to use the original nuts from oem weels because 1 they are not tuner style. So i will go look for some nuts. Any recomendations?
