I think some of you guys here have a 350z. Quick question, would a 350z Track edition (with brembo brakes) spare wheel fit in a 2+2 300zx spare wheel well? I have 350z Brembos on my car and as such, my 300zx spare wheel wont fit over the larger callipers. Was hoping I could get a 350z spare wheel and carry that around instead....
Not quite 350Z, but I have an R34 GTR space saver wheel in my 2+2 which fits over the 324mm Brembo front rotors & caliper. I had to run a longer securing bolt through it into the rear floor as the OEM securing bolt with wing head was not long enough to go through the wheel into the floor (the space saver is offset differently to the OEM space saver). If you are lucky you can probably find the OEM GTR/350Z securing bolt at the wreckers too which might work with the 300ZX rear floor.
If you get a flat up front just swap with a rear wheel and put the spare on the rear. It'll clear them tiny brakes.
Other options from previous posts are Ford Falcon BA or FG - 17" or Toyota Supra 17" Wifeys FG has a normal wheel so I cant comment Have found quite a few different tyres in the last week I'm OK with the numbers - not sure what the D and R are R maybe Radial D anyone Source for the list was tyre placard (image) and good old eBay Theres a 350Z space saver in Emerald T125 70D 15 T125 70R 17 T125 80D 15 T125 80D 16 T125 80R 16 T135 90D 16 T145 70D 17 R33 T145 70R 18 T145 90D 16 Z33 16 x 4.0 T T155 80R 17 FG Falcon (wifeys) T155 70R 18 T155 90D 16 T165 80D 17
Have found quite a few different tyres in the last week I'm OK with the numbers - not sure what the D and R are R maybe Radial D anyone I think 'D' will be Diagonal Ply Tyre... also known as cross ply I think.
When you do get a bigger wheel to fit your caliper will it fit in the spare wheel cavity is also a consideration
