pick your size, they come in 50mm and 60mm

if you dont have any spacers stacked up, the wheels fit fine, you probably need to get some "tuner" style lug nuts, that have thinner diameter, and use a special socket to get down the smaller holes in the wheels.

well its not the lug nuts because they fit into all the rims its just the lug nuts only catch a few thread and i know if i try to tighten them more or drove on them they will break off

weird, i sell and install wheels and tires (amongst other things) for a living, and have never had the problem unless someone had some big spacers over their lugs. just search for extended lug nuts for a 240sx, should have lots of options.

Some wheels you have to use Shank lug nuts like this.



It's weird. OEM stock studs should be long enough for most wheels. Can you post some pics? I'm curious. If you want to get new studs, get Nismo 60mm and use open lug nuts just in case. I went with 50mm and had to switch to 60mm later. I should have gottem them in the first place.

Yea something sounds a bit off...

IF your going to get longer studs, get nismos or something high quality. Dont cheap out on these or you will regret it.

And like other people suggested, you might need tuner lugs, i have wheels that require tuner lugs and my oem stock lugs work and thread, but only about 2-3 threads until they are too wide for the hole, so even if you can thread the stock ones, does not mean they are correct for the wheels.

Some enkei wheels require special lugs simaler to the ones pictured above.
