Need Replacement Lug Nuts - What Damn Size
 
I had picked up a set of Kazera KZ-V 17" wheels about two seasons ago (winter tire set). This season, I can't seem to find my package of lug nuts when I moved houses. The internet is absolute shit when it comes to telling me exactly what size lug nuts do I need!

I am not talking thread count, I am talking diameter, etc. The Kazera seems to have very narrow lug nut holes, so any help would be greatly appreciated. If you do not know the size, is there a way I can find out?

Found a picture of someone selling his set and it looks like these are what I had? His set is 17x7 as well (pretty sure that's what I got).

Though this is for his little scubbie.

The lug nuts have nothing to do with the wheel size. The thread pitch is M12 x1.5. You want the "tuner" ones.

Or I guess they use some special crap. A quick search revealed this:

These wheels seem like more hassle than they are worth.

the wheels that came on my old 8 had really narrow lug holes. i got a set of motegi neo chrome ones that worked well. they are f/s in my part out thread

I know, these wheels have done me well the past two seasons, but I can't find the damn lug nut set I had for them.

I just know it is a narrow and semi-deep lug nut well, so would tuner lug nuts work in this case?

@200.mph - do you have any pictures of your lug nuts? I know my Gorilla Lug nuts I have on my normal wheels do not fit the diameter of what these Kazera wheels want.

Will the usual $30 set of Gorilla spline drive tuner lugs not work?

Like prior people said tuner style lugs are the lugs that are slimmer and will fit look for the thread pitch given above. Cheapo ones are Gorilla or Muteki. Muteki is pretty much a rep of project kics.

Some dealer that had my 07 GT new, put Enkei GF-1 7.5 x18 with tiny lug nuts.

At least they are 38 ET so track is 24mm wider.

I just need to keep tire size down to 225/40r18.

Mine are the open end on left, and allow lug to rust, so I painted lugs with the touch up paint.

Tuner style lugs worked, though with that wheel, you need about a 1/2 spline to it for it to fit the stud properly. Sadly, the tuner lugs I got didn't have the extended spline so it is only a few threads on, but worked fine for winter. Time to throw my proper summer tires on for AutoX season!

I don't know why I didn't notice it before but those lugs in the second post look like "extended thread" lugs.
