Don't see any reason why it wouldn't....

The OE Z34 Sport spare is 25.99" diameter, the stock Z33 spare is 26.13" diameter and both sit on a 4" wide wheel. Difference is in the wheel diameter with 17" (Z33) and 18" for the 34 allowing fit with Sport brakes.

But don't quote me or the science/theory.... will have to actually put one in to make sure.

I can confirm the 370z spare fits the 350z spare tire space. I have on in there right now after I went with my BBK. It's the one that looks like this:

Thanks, is your Z34 spare for the Sport type of model to clear their Akebonos or is is like for a base/enthusiast model?

Facebook added a new security setting. You need to turn-off "FUTURE" data sharing . . . other wise Facebook keeps track of every website you visit. Go to Facebook settings and turn it off. They make it difficult to do so.

Thanks, yeah, just another tool fesigned to achieve a facebook or google world hegemony. Haha.

I keep a pretty basic online presence that, if compromised, is pretty minimally damaging. Been in this biz too long to start worrying now.

But thanks,will go disable that!

I believe the one I posted came with the sport Z34s with the Akebonos. It should be an 18" wheel. The other spare that came with the base models is 17" and looks like this:

Also, browse Incognito, clear cookies and use Firefox or Opera, Google tracks everywhere you go. Lastly, log out of FB every time you're done, do not leave it open.

Aint it the Truth!

There is actually a lot of steel involved in that skinny little thing as it bowls out so much; I stood on my digital scale, got my weight then again with me holding spare....I think it was 34 lbs!
