d95gas Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Guys, Recently got some 370 OEM Rims, and needed to get the 370 Wheel nuts to go with them. Manage to source some, but wondering if anyone can confirm that the below, is the same shape as the 370 oem wheelnuts. I believe the cone is different on the 370, so important I get the right one's...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I think you need specific OEM spec nuts for the 370 OEM whells because they have some sort of built in washer type gizmo. https://www.z1motorsports.com/g37_370z/product_info.php?products_id=5416 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetstan Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yes they do, I recently removed 4 to fit some lockers and they looked different to the above. Drop Cs a message, he will confirm. 😄 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d95gas Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Cheers Guys, Yep its been confirmed by the supplier that they have sent me the wrong ones, however they now need some measurements off the orginal which I dont have. They requre to know the diameter of the stub that goes through the wheel, and the length down to the collar. They are under the impression they are 1.5 pitch, but everything I look at says 1.25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Is the supplier providing you with OEM wheel nuts with the built in washer thingy? If not I'd spend some time reading the forums in the U.S. I'm not an expert and I'm just regurgitating what I've read elsewhere but the impression I got was that using anything but the OEM ones is asking for trouble - ie potentially very dangerous.

d95gas Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yep they have admitted they have sent out the wrong nuts and are going to provide the ones with this washer bit on it and looks totally different to a standard wheel nut. I spent hours on the american forums, probably reading the same material, and the emphasis is on getting the correct one's or watch your wheels come falling off !!!!!

Taff Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I've got some spare oem wheel nuts from when I fitted locking nuts, so I will take a photo & with a bit of luck I'll figure out how to post it on here so you can see what they look like. I'll also measure it up, I know that the thread size is M12x 1.25, but I will add the overall dimensions to see if that helps. Keep your fingers crossed that I can do this right & you should get a reply a little later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian@TORQEN Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) These are the OEM nuts for 370z Edited July 25, 2015 by octet@TORQEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I would be worried about what your supplier sends you now as its vital you have the correct ones. Saying this after I have experienced spacers being supplied with soft alloy nuts that not only easily chewed up taking them off and on, but became obvious their strength was highly questionable under load. I would ask for your money back on those supplied and source the correct nuts from a reputable source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taff Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Those are the exact same ones as mine, so looks like the problem is solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
