Default What Lug Nuts to use on Infiniti G37 Rims on an ISx50

I've been scouring the internet and this forum to figure out what lug nuts to use on a set of OEM G37s rims. I've read that you have to get aftermarket tuner lug nuts for them to work and I've gotten conflicting information, so I'm going to try to get clarification.

This is a thread where a user used aftermarket lug nuts on OEM wheels.
https://www.myg37.com/forums/brakes-...ck-wheels.html

The post by Black Betty (aka Lexus Defector, ) and multiple other people in this forum says the OEM wheels use MAG style lug nuts, 12x1.25 thread pitch

Lexus IS uses MAG seat lug nuts as well except different threat pitch, 12x1.5
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ck-wheels.html

So I should be able to use OEM Lexus lug nuts on OEM infiniti G37 wheels correct?

Can you post the close up pics of your G37 lug holes?

If the g37 wheels use a mag seat lug nut and if the oem lexus mag seat lug has the correct length shank for the g37 wheels,
then the oem lexus lugs will work.

Would be nice if you cleaned that a bit. Try to take a high resolution shot with better light, can't tell from that picture what you need.

Toyota/Lexus wheel and MAG seat lug nut. If your wheels look the same then use Toyota lugs, if different use correct lugs for those wheels. Costco sells several types of lug nuts, you may want to check with them.

Don't have them and they wouldn't fit anyways. Uses a different thread pitch

Guy - I KNOW they wouldn't fit. I asked if you had them so you could see the style and seat, and then match it.

Sorry if I came off a little douchy. It definitely wasn't my intention. Wheels came off a 2012 g37 coupe. These should be the lug nuts




These are the wheels and a close up of the lug holes from an eBay listing





Thanks guys

Undo one lug from Lexus and drop it in the Infiniti wheel. Quickest way to find out.

Looks like someone tried to use incorrect lugs before.

The edge looks mushed on this pic. Your ebay pic the edge is sharp. I also think someone in the past used accorn style on these wheels. I would confirm the mag nuts fit in the holes before mounting them.

And I would strongly suggest after install get a few miles on it and re torque the wheels.
