John,
the studs on a 240Z are 12mm x 1.25 pitch, as opposed to the roadster's
7/16" x ? pitch...If the rims use a standard 'acorn' style nut, you should
be able to use the original roadster nuts (until you get some spanky new
ones, that is!) If the new rims use a square shoulder style nut, you'll
have to go shopping right away.
