Is a G35 coupe lug nut same as a I35 lug nut as far as specs. I bought a set of 19" Ruff wheels off a G35 sedan and was going to put them on my I35 sport. but the stock lug nuts are too fat to fit in the wheel lug hole.

DO NOT PUT OEM LUG NUTS ON AFTERMARKET WHEELS

OEM wheels/lugs are domed, and aftermarket wheels/lugs are conical. Mix and match and you will be tightening lug nuts every single day

get yourself some RAYS ENGINEERING lug nuts...they use a 17mm nut, and usually come with a NISMO/RAYS thin wall socket to complete the set :)

got a set at Advance auto the other day. It's a daily driver and did not want to spend much. Basically I got a set of 19x8.5 Ruff used wheels with Goodyear Eagle GTs and lug nuts for under $900. Will post pics whenever it stops raining.

Here's my 02 I35 sport with 19x8.5 Ruff 278 and Goodyear Eagle GT 245-35-19. Next will be some lowering springs to fill in the fender gap. Rims cost me $150 from a G35 forum member and I bought new tires from tire rack($656) and had to buy lug nuts($32).
