My brother gave me a sweet set of wheels for my wife's 2011 Nissan Rogue. They're Enkei J10's - look nice. I got the studded snow tires put on today and brought them home, but the darn stock lug nuts don't fit into the Enkei rims. The holes in the rims are too narrow. The stock lugs are M12-1.25. Some nicer lugs than the stock ones would look nicer anyway.

I have been searching for an hour or so on how to find lugs that will fit, but I'm getting frustrated as hell. Any of you tuner guys got a link or something to help me out? [Bang]

Hmm. I might possibly have a set. Might be the locking type though. Pretty sure I even know where they are at in the garage.

Opps. Never mind. The set I have is 12mmx1.5 not 1.25.

Kind of hard to help without the hole size of the rim

That's so....20th century! LOL Found the # on their blog though. I'll try that tomorrow.

I figured that Enkei would have a list with wheels/size/lug nuts needed. Can't find one.

Enkei used to use a "bulge acorn" lugnut with a 19mm hex. Discount Tire should have 'em for about a buck and a half each.

If the holes in the wheels were so big the lug nuts would fit through them, then the wheels would fall off.

Some of you upstaters are getting kind of cocky.

There are a ton of brands out there so that choice is yours. What you're looking for are typically called "Tuner" lug nuts. I like the spline drove ones because then I don't use a lock. The Gorilla brand is cheaper but the McGard ones are much nicer. I've used both before. Both come in a range of colors. For a daily driver that just gets the wheels switched for winter I'd use the Gorillas since they are about 1/2 the price of the McGards.

Of course you can find other brands too that might be cheaper, I'm just recommending these since I've used them.

Got the old lady's snow tires on when it started snowing up here. [Beer]

I'll assume that you were joking here...

"GETTING" cocky? I never lost it bud! Still can't hold a candle to the Lawn Guyland J-A-Ps though. (no, not a reference to Japanese folks....[Roll1])
