What size lugs to get?

This summer I will be putting on my RL calipers and purchasing 350z rotors. Will the rotors affect the lug nut pattern, or will I still be buying M12x1.5? I know that 350z's are m12x1.25. If someone could clarify this, it would be appreciated! Thanks

I believe the 350z rotors are a bit thicker. I've never bought rotors before so I had no idea about how they fit since the size of the lug nuts were different. Same pattern, so I'm guessing its still going to be normal TL sized lug nuts as long as the rotors dont have them attached?

And you went with 350z rotors? Why not just got Aftermarket for the car, and not deal with all this hassle.

Paul and Binhsterbinh told me to go with 350z because they're thicker. Didnt think this question was that difficult, but I guess I will just PM them.

Wasn't really trying to be a dick sorry. I was just curious as why you chose those. :p

No, both rotors use M12 studs. Only difference is the tread; 1.25 vs 1.50.

Ok that makes sense. So they'll fit perfectly since m12 stud. So then I would still buy the TL tread, 1.5?

Are you running Honda/Acura wheels? If so, you need to get 1.5 studs. Honda/Acura wheels are ball seat types, then you're forced to use the OEM lugs.

If you're running aftermarket wheels, then it doesn't really matter which to get.
