5/8th wheel studs. Anyone done it?

[sleepyS14se]

I am looking to put some basset or aero racing wheels on my s14. I want to use 1" hex headed lug nuts with a 45 degree taper. Problem I am running into is the fact that I cannot find any 45 degree lug nuts that are m12 x 1.5 with a 1" head.

So, I am most likely just going to put 5/8-18 studs in to cure the problem. IF anyone has any ideas I would like to hear em.

Studs and nuts I am planning to use
Speedwaymotors.com item number 91005997

Wheels are aero racing 50-184540

Also one thing I have not yet been able to calculate being I do not have the wheels yet is will the 15" wheels clear the z31 brackets w/ the 11.5" Altima rear rotor setup the car currently has.

Tia for any useful info anyone may have.

You can't find those lug nuts in a 1/2"-20 thread?

Currently have a 94 Q45 front brake set up on my s14. I have ordered a pair of rebuilt z32 iron 30mm calipers and need to know whether or not the q45 caliper mounting bracket will work with the z32 calipers?

From all the write ups i have read and reviewed it seems like everyone goes straight from stock to z32 brakes. I did the q45 front brakes on my s14 before i ever even put the engine and trans in it and I have no clue where i put my stock caliper brackets.


Can anyone give me an idea of how the z32 calipers mount? Do i need to locate my stock s14 front caliper brackets?

TIA folks!!

The z32 calipers mount directly to your knuckles. You wont need to find any brackets for them. Just unbolt your Q45 calipers/brackets and directly bolt on the Z32.

Thank you so much.

I found some adapters on ebay that allow the use of a 12.75 rotor (350z)
Is it worth it or should i stick with the 300zx rotors? I feel kinda iffy about the ebay brakcets
