Correct Lug Nut for OEM Coupe 19"

I have spent two days searching for a simple answer on what is the
correct lug nut for the OEM 19"...

I have read the safety thread, other forums etc...

Shank,mag,short ,long, washer, no washer which is the correct one.
Hate to goto the dealer and pay $9 a lug nut.

See pictures of what looks like should be the right one, but no place to buy it.

Thanks for any help

And useless post of the year goes to!!!! ^ that guy

You need a ball seat/ acorn style lug. The thing with OEM wheels is they take almost any lug style there is, but it won't always seat perfectly.

Go to a wheel shop and ask for an acorn or ball seat lug, they will definitely have them.

On the link I posted, they're all acorn.

If replacements are acorn, wouldn't that mean the original is acorn?

Plus, there are a lot if styles for his money rather than 1 for $9.

But thanks for being a dick, just trying to help him out.

Some of those are an acorn/ball seat. Most of the others are a tuner seat/shank.

here, from left to right.
1. Tuner 2. Ball (OEM) 3. N/A not used for anything in cars now.



If you're trying to help, be more helpful. Thats like you asking me a question and me doing this.

Thanks for the info.
Confused on the shank style vs the normal ball.
Read post where it said you should use shank on OEM.

I have 20 ball lugnuts in a bag that came off when my current wheels
had new lugs put on. I get my OEM Rays' tomorrow so I will just verify
they fit.

What are you verifying if they fit? the ball or the other lugs? What are the "current wheels"

Acorn. If you weren't in NewYork, I'd just hand you my old set of Lugnuts.

I bought spline lugnuts from z1motorsports.com and they work fine.

^ I explained the same thing about a week ago. That tuner (spline) fit fine, as will most. It's just about how the taper can cut through the aluminium in the long run.

From the factory, the cars usually come with ball seats (almost all nissans do and always have) Unless it's a truck.

Yep, I received the wheels today and my old set of lugs fit perfect.
So I am guessing they are the OEM lugs, I just did not know for sure.
