Hey i got a set of spacers but the thread pitch is wrong. I need to put 12 x 1.25 studs in it. I have no idea what brand the spacer is or anything about it. I know i could just go to an auto store and try different studs, but is there anything else i should know about spacers?

^WTF are you talking about, who said anything about lug nuts...

Just make sure they are the right ones for your car.

IE if your 5 lug should be 5x114.3. I am not sure if the studs can be replaced for bigger or smaller ones. I guess if they are the same diameter it shouldn't be a problem. (IDK if all studs are the same diameter or not)

bolt pattern has nothing to do with thread pitch.

you can press the studs out of the spacers and press new ones in. The end of the studs are splined if the splines match which most do your fine unless you strip the spline you should be ok.

or buy the lug nuts that match thread pitch......

this is either way to simple or I'm missing something huge.

i could buy lugs to match, but i was j/w. i tried a set of studs i had off a z and the diameter was too small to fit in the spacer....and chiboy002 kiss my ass. i can't find studs that are the same diameter to fit these spacers.

Nissan thread pitch is M12-1.25.

Press out one of the studs from your spacer and measure the diameter of the stud (you want to measure the diameter of the serrated part that presses into the spacer, not the diameter of the thread). Then find a stud with the correct diameter and thread pitch.

Easy as that. You should be able to find studs with a quick Google search.

Why the hell would you make it so hard? Just buy 12x1.5 Pitch Lugs? Use 12x1.25 lugs to secure the Spacer to the Hub and use 1.5 lugs to secure the wheel to the spacer.
