I bought some 280z rims to re-finish and use.

I assume you mean the factory Z or ZX alloys. They use a special lugnut
available from Nissan for about $5 each. I've never seen the correct size
available elsewhere, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Here's a
potential fix: machine the wheels to accept a steel tapered-seat insert,
then use longer studs of your choice with standard tapered seat lugnuts.
Works great for me, especially since my racing wheels came with tapered seat
inserts. Nice not to have to carry an extra set of lugnuts to autocrosses.
