HELP. Wheels wont fit, buying Nismo Studs...

[chap99cvc]

I have a set of old school mesh enkeis, but when I tried to put them on the wheel stud was too short to tighten the lug nut down. I am about to order Nismo wheels studs and some Zenki open end lugs... Any better recommendations? I need to get this done TODAY, so any help asap is appreciated.

I heard the offset on enkei mesh was outrageous? Not sure but do hey stick really far? I am running a set of cheviot mesh wheels, and they require a mag style lugnut.

I bought Nismo studs when I was running my BBS, and they work out fine. Except I have broken five of them with these mag style lug nuts. Not sure why though.

it depends on which enkeis you get. mine are the perfect offset

what kind do you have xchaosx? 15x7 0off?

[chap99cvc]

yeah mine are some old school enkei apache's from the 70's, I got them off an old datsun, so I have no idea what the offset is, but the lug pattern fits, so I'm gonna try them out.

i havent measured the offset yet, but theyre not 0 for sure. a couple of my friends have the 0 offset mesh and they look kinda funky

i got mine off a datsun 280z. the front and rears were different. maybe you got the front ones. they have less lip, so maybe it has a more positive offset than the rears. do you have pictures of your wheels xchaos?

Not sure if it's with all years, but I find that the front studs have a larger knurl size than the rear, so make sure you order the right ones for front and rear.

if you look in the picture with the side view, mine look like those, except the face is further out, covering all the flat part on the second step of the lip (maybe 10 mm higher offset?). i'd edit it if i had paint on my computer, but i dont so yeah.

[240Degrees]

okay, i get it now. those are the front ones. the 280z i pulled mine off of had 0 offset on the rear and i got 2 more rear ones. i guess the ones you have are the front.

That repaint turned out pretty nice. Thumbs up.
