Halp! Borrow wheels & tires!?!?
#1
I have a buyer in contract for the 240, with the stipulation of getting it to pass state inspection. I'm nearly positive they're going to fail it for tires today, so reaching out for some help in advance. There's 3 options that you can help me out, please let me know if anybody can (preferably between Richmond and H-burg...).

1) 10 lug nuts that are very narrow outside diameter and have a M12-1.25 thread. I've got a 17" Drag DR-34 wheel + good tires that will fit on the car, but my lug nuts won't fit into the small holes.

2) a pair of 16" tires that aren't worn down and will fit on a 7.5" wheel.

3) a pair of wheels + tires, 16" or larger, 5x114 lug pattern

Dave,
I have some 16" K-1's that originally came from a 240 (5x114.3), but I don't think the tires will make it. They have a few nickle-size chunks missing :-)...

This is likely no help at all but they are here if you need 'em.

Dave, I have lots of Subaru lug nuts (which I'm pretty sure are M12x1.25). I've got a pile of OEM ones and some tuner lugs. The key for the tuner lugs is a bit messed up but if you're just trying to put them on to pass inspection and then take them off, I'm pretty sure it'll be fine. Stop by my house some time after 5:30ish and I'll hook you up.

Election must have gotten you riled up, you have brought the haterade over the past couple days.

Justin, unfortunately DSM lugs wont work. They are 12x1.5.

Huge, (va)ginormous thankyou goes to Maeng for giving me those tuner lugs. They worked perfectly after I "modified" the key.
And a big thanks goes to Pete too, for getting me set up with a backup scenario if Maeng's lugs didn't work out.
Thread closed.

FYI for other peeps - Subaru and Nissan seem to generally use 12m X 1.25 threads, Mitsu & Honderp like 12m X 1.5.
