The spare from the sport model uses lug nuts from the Rays wheels which are different from the base model.

Is This True - OEM Base Lug Nuts Do Not Work With Rays Wheels - If So - Anyone Have The Nissan Part # For Rays Wheel Lugs - Thanks -

All oem 370 lug nuts are the same

It’s a mag style nut, with the tips tapered enough to hold spare tire secure

I know what they look like. I have a 17" off the G stuck in storage I can't use or sell. It's a 4" wide wheel, it only looks good with a real tire on it for a drag pack setup. As a spare it will never be seen so it doesn't matter at all

I sold an extra one I had for $100 on the forum to shadoquad. After a few months I got to know the guy and felt bad I charged that much to an OG
