My Wheels are Falling Off..... any insight?
Hello all..
I stopped in AutoTire last week to get 2 new eagleF1 tires put on my Rims.
Rims: Kosei or Kosie 17x7.5
My Problem is the Lug Studs on my Maxima Arent very Long and they said this was very dangerous with my wheels..
I can even see that the Tuner lugs are only catchin like 1/4 inch of thread on the threaded Stud part....
I contacted a Speed shop in my area and they said my only hope is Nismo Tuner Studs.... Then Gorillaz Lugs...
They quoted me $8 a Stud X 5 on each wheel= approx $50 a wheel.
Dont they sell a Extended Stud For our Car..
I checked many local parts stores but have had no luck.. any ideas.?

spend the necessary money..dont go cheap on something that can seriously **** up your car if something goes wrong...imagine...scrapped rims, new axle, new front end..if one the tires just desides to unscrew itself while making a turn..dude be careful.

I have Kosie wheels but I don't think they're the same as yours. Could it be that your hubcentric rings are damaged? I had a similar problem, although not as bad, where my wheels weren't sitting perfectly flush against the studs and it was because my rings were bent a little.
