Default wheel stug/lug nut fitment

I bought rims that came off a 350z and they dont fit with my lugnuts. The nissan has a stud diameter of 1.25 and my car has a stud size of 1.5. What can I do to make the rims fit.

Also my cars center bore is 67.1 and the ones from the nissan are 66.2mm will this cause any problems? Thanks

Ok I found out that the 1.25 and 1.50 is the thread pitch so I'll just need to buy more compact lugnuts in a 1.5 and it should fit. Does anyone have an answer to my second question?

umm, lexus bore should be 60.1mm right?

regardless, if the wheel is 66.2mm and your bore is 67.1, the wheel won't even fit on right

mitsu's have a very large hub bore. most other mfr's wheel s don't fit on a mitsu, but mitsu fit s on everything.
those wheels won't fit if that's the actual hub bore measurement as you stated.

This is where Im confused, there are plenty of dsm's running around with 350z/g35 wheels and whem I tried on the volks they mated to the hub. So not sure how to go about this.

the volks have a huge centerbore to accomodate all vehicles, then its' justa matter of using the right hubcentric ring for a perfect fit.
maybe your nissan cb measurement is wrong....
i know lexus wheels don't fit dsm's for a fact. the nissans might have a large enough cb.
