Default Lug nut size

Does anyone know if a 12x1.5 lug nut will fit the LS600? In reviewing the specs, it calls for 14MX1.5? However, in speaking with a wheel dealer today he informed me that 12x1.5 will fit. Stating that the 1.5 pitch was the important number.

it won't come to fit at all, you should really stay away from your dealer, he's a complete bs. i am not trying to be harsh, but as a wheel vendor they should know better that BOTH M14 AND 1.5 are important. the 1.5 is the tread count, and the M14 is the diameter.

if the studs are already freaking 14mm in diameter, how they heck are you going to fit 12mm nut on to it...

m14x1.5, nothing else

"Fitment of M12 and M14" are the same according to the dealer!!!!!!!

Wow. A classic example of ignorance in bloom.
