Hey, I'm looking to order some chrome aluminium lug nuts from ebay, but ones have 1.5mm thread and others 1.25 and now I have no idea which ones to order. I'm posting links for easier understanding.

Celica is 12x1.5, not 12x1.25... only Subies and some Nissans use 1.25 I think

you can't use either lug nuts of either size, the lug size has to match the stud/thread. but to answer your question its 12x1.5 < thats for stud and lug nuts.

are you on stock wheels or aftermarket? Stock would just not work in general.

^ yes stock lugnuts use the same size/thread but a different shape, the stock lugnuts slip through the stock wheels bigger lug holes (like hole spacers as it screws in), while aftermarket lugs just fasten from the surface of the hole.
