| I've got an LE with those georgeous 20" wheels... I was surprised that there were no locks as there were on my LE Pathfinder or on my son's 08 Altima. Anyone have locks on their LE? Is it a one size fits all for all Nissan (or other) vehicles or is the lug opening too narrow requiring a special lock? |

| I purchased wheel locks the day I picked up the LE and they had several sets in stock, so I am thinking that the locks must fit all Nissan's and they were only like $22.00 so they couldn't be too special. |

LeMurano-
Since the wheel locks are no larger than the OEM lug nuts there should be no clearance problems.
There is no rhyme or reason why some dealers supply locks and others don't. When I picked up my MO I noticed the locks and brought it to the salesman's attention. He claimed all of their cars have the locks. Yet when I checked the other two Nissan's being handed over to their new owners only one had the locks. :confused:

| I bought the Nissan wheel locks a week after I got my 09 LE and they fit just fine, no clearance problems. They are made by McGard. |

| Saw a bunch of McGard lock sets at Pep Boys the other day, but of many different sizes etc... Any particular spec or model number for them? |

The 1st gen Murano (and most Nissan SUVs and trucks of the same era) have the lug size: M12 x 1.25 (21mm). Hope that helps. |

| Thanks Eric. You mention 1st Gen Muranos... How about the 09 LE, are 2nd Gen the same? |

Quick update on the locks. It does indeed seem to be a dealer specific behavior to include or no include them in the sale. My last four cars over the past 5 years (three drivers, usually leasing for 36 mo) had them.
My 09 LE did not and was from a different dealer. The 21mm size quoted by Eric do in fact fit the 2nd Gen MO - $29 at most local auto shops... I bought a set this afternoon.
Thanks all! |

I did my brakes over the weekend and decided to keep my wheel locks off, which were on the car when I purchased it from the dealer.
I will sell them for $15 plus shipping if anyone is interested. |

| The 09 SL came with wheel locks. The 09 LE does not? Sounds strange that the higher end LE with 20" wheels does not have the locks while the SL with standard wheels does. Go figure!? :confused: I'm surprised that the dealer didn't mention it was a dealer add for us (you know... toot his own horn). |
