Hey guys new here, I did a search but can't find what I needed to know.

I have a 92 240sx hatchback rolling on some steelies right now, but just bought some 7 spoke SE rims. My question is I have Open Ended lug nuts, can those work on the 7 spoke rims or do I need to buy some Closed Ended lug nuts? Or if I should go buy some cheap ones at Kragen/Autozone, Nissan OEM ones, or lug locks like Gorilla or Mcgards?

From what I've seen, most of the tuner lugnuts are open ended. You shouldn't have any problems as long as they fit.

you cant go wrong with open ended lugs as long as theyre the right thread pitch.

You would be fine with closed ended lugs as long as your wheel studs are stock length.

Locks are usually a good idea, but I dont think you have to worry about anyone stealing your oem 7-spoke wheels.
