You will need to drill out the holes the studs go through to accomadate the
slightly larger 12mm studs.  Not sure exactley what drill size to use, I
used  a 1/2" an my impression is that it was ever so slightly too large.

The studs on the rear are flat on one side so you need to buy the two types.

The Z wheels I use require a lug nut that has to come from Nissan, about $5
apiece, I never could find an aftermarket nut that would work.  Different Z
wheels may accomadate different lugs though.

In short, it was a bigger job than I thought it would be but I'm happy with
the wheels.
