No you can't , you should use the shank style with the washer.

 

Kk thanks.

 

So with the oem wheels on the G 07-08 (not M wheels) the only lugs we can safely use is the oem one (shank style). Exact?

 

Yes...rims that come off a 2nd gen G sedan use shank (w/ washer) when being mounted to any car. If you put other rims on your car (say M45 rims or 1st gen rims on a 2nd gen G) then you need to get conical lug nuts, unless those rims call for something else.

 

great thanks!

 

i have the coupe 19s i used the lugs from my old 18s..am I good? what should i change it too? are tuner lugs good to use on the oem wheels? i was thinking of grabbing the muteki's sr48 what do u think?

 

No use your shank lugs from your 18's. Tuner lugs don't fit the oem wheels.

 

how come? whats the reason tuner lugs dont work on the oem 19s?

 

You need the shank lug or this could happen:


Someone know if the shank lug exist in BLACK color??
(Those nuts are very hard to find in the aftermarket world)

 

I know this is an old thread, but it is a useful reference thread, So, for anyone possibly left wondering how/why this all matters, I came across the following link which I think shows very nicely what the different types look like (btw, there are even more than are shown here), and also importantly, shows what the corresponding surface looks like on the wheel.

http://www.brandsport.com/howdoifirilu.html

In "Step #3 Identify my Seat Type:", they have highlighted the load bearing surface of both the lug nut AND the wheel in RED. As you can clearly see, while the angle of the bevel on the end of an acorn/taper type may happen to be similar to that of a shank style nut, the corresponding surfaces on the wheels where load is intended/designed to be applied is COMPLETELY different. Likewise, the area of the actual nuts where load is intended/designed to be applied is also totally different. The key point I'm trying to make here is that both the wheel AND the nuts have been engineered to function under loading which is applied only in the RED area! Using one or the other in a manner that it was never designed to withstand is just a (bad) guess as to whether it will hold up when stressed inappropriately.

It's a "square peg into a round hole" kind of thing, but with heavy loading being applied too. Regardless of how the different styles may have certain angle similarities, anyone who has "gotten away" with doing this has only done so on dumb luck and should probably go buy a lotto ticket.

 

Will these lug nuts work with the M45 wheels?

Okay i have a Question I just order some 2011 M35 Wheels for my 2008 G35 Sedan Journey (non Sport) do i need a new set of lugs for the new ones or should i keep the same ones??

TIA.

 

Whichever style lugnuts the wheels were originally secured with (from the factory) is what you should use to secure them on your car. Check with your dealership's parts department and dont rely completely on a member's input. Similar wheels of different years may differ in seating. We cant reliably keep track of different wheel models and their lug styles.

 

I know this thread is pretty old but i was hoping someone can shed some light on my question. I recently got my hands on a g37s (10 spoke) it didn't come with lug nuts so i was wondering if I can use my g35 sedan oem lugs on them.

I read the previous posts but its kind of confusing, a clear answer would help. From what i understand g35 = acorn and g37 = washer or shoulder lug nuts. Thanks in advance.

 

What generation of G35 are you talking about.? The nuts are different between the two generations, so without clarification, you have a 50% chance of getting the right answer.


If you are planning on using G37 wheels, then the lugs should just look like these, PERIOD!
