Hi guys, I just bought a S15 and sold my MX-5.. big difference I know!

I have my old Buddy Club lug nuts (12 x 1.5) from the MX5 and was wondering if S15's used 12 x 1.5 or 12 x 1.25 lug nuts?

I did a bit of searching around and can assume that S15's use 12 x 1.25 lug nuts :( but there isn't a definitive answer out there..

Would I be damaging anything if I did end up using the 12 x 1.5 for the Silvia?

Any advice appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum.

nissans use an M12x1.25mm pitch for wheel nuts. you won't be able to screw on m12x1.5mm nuts. forcing them on will destroy the threads.

if you REALLY want to use your buddy club nuts,you'd have to change the S15's wheel studs to the toyota/mazda pitch. not really worth the effort IMHO.
