MS3 Lug Nut Size & RX-8 Question

[DaleNixon]

I have two questions here. Please don't flame me for being an idiot. (peep)

1. What size are the lug nuts for the stock Mazdaspeed3 wheels?

2. Can I use the Mazdaspeed3 wheel lug nuts on RX-8 wheels?

Thanks!

Kain, here is a teaser of what's to come:

My cats are enjoying having these wheels in their room!

21mm socket amirite?

Sounds right. I bought a set of plastic-coated sockets from Harbor Freight.

That is a kick ass gaming set up, lol. I do have to say I'm jealous!

Yep the lugs are 21mm, pretty sure 12x1.5 is right although I'm not totally sure anymore. If you're using your stock lugs you don't have to worry about the 12x1.5 part. Just check to see that the taper on the base of your lug matches the taper on the lug hole in the wheel.

Thanks man! The setup is even more awesome now because I have a Logitech G25 mounted instead of that crappy Microsoft wheel.

Might be 12x1.25

 

[SPEEDYHANS]

Might be 12x1.25

for the ms3??

 

[Kain]

Might be 12x1.25

It's not. 12 x 1.25 is a Subby/Nissan lug spec, Mazda uses 12 x 1.5.

that's a pretty coarse thread... the other person didn't sound too sure.
