We don't need to tell you that appropriate tires are vital for a smooth ride in your INFINITI. But here's the thing: the components that attach your tires are crucial, as well. Wheel lug nuts are meant to securely hold your tires to the wheels and axles on your INFINITI. This may sound simple enough, but these small lug nuts need to be installed and adjusted to a specific torque to prevent premature or uneven wear to your rims, wheels, or brake components.
Each small (but super strong!) Wheel Lug Nut on your INFINITI's wheels is engineered to help support the weight of a tire and keep it in place so it can roll evenly and efficiently as you drive.
If even one Wheel Lug Nut is missing or tightened incorrectly, there's a good chance you're unknowingly causing damage to one or more tires or your INFINITI's metal wheels. A loosened lug nut could lead to a wobbly tire roll (and low fuel efficiency), whereas one that's too tight might compress the tire into an adjacent brake rotor, which can give you a warped or bent rotor over time. If you lose a Wheel Lug Nut during a tire blowout or other tire emergency, you may not be able to put on your INFINITI's spare tire without that nut. With that in mind, it would be smart to keep an extra Wheel Lug Nut (or several!) in an emergency toolkit just in case you have a flat tire.
It is possible to install a replacement Wheel Lug Nut yourself, but keep in mind that each nut must be installed to a specific torque level with a specialty tool called a torque wrench. You need to have the right tools and intermediate knowledge of auto parts before you attempt to replace your Wheel Lug Nut. Review the owner's manual for your INFINITI to determine the required tightening torque for your model.
