The new wheels I'm purchasing call for 45 degree taper racing lug nuts. The lug nuts that they sell come in 12mm X 1.5 fine size. I don't see 12mm X 1.25. Can I use this size or will it not work. Where can I get the lug nuts that will. They HAVE to be 45 DEGREE TAPER or it won't work. Thanks guys.

What do you think? When was the last time you cross-threaded something and it worked?I suggest either searching the many many makers of lug nuts for a set that works, or replacing your studs with 12 x 1.5 .

Like ubernoober said, save yourself the trouble and get 1.25, nissan threading. Won't cost you much extra.

Then go sell your 1.5 to the toyota or honda guys.
