Thanks for all the info guys! I really appreciate it. I may have actually found a front one, but I will still need a rear.

Default Z33 LMGT4 Center Caps

I purchased my 03 Brickyard with 18" Nismo LMGT4 wheels already on the car. However, the center caps have the Z32 "Z" rather than "Nismo", Nissan, or the Z33 "Z". Does anyone know where I could find different center caps for these wheels?

Except I'm looking for a specific center cap - "Nismo", "Nissan" or the Z33 "Z" logo. The only ones I have found are either plan (in Japan) or gold Rays caps.

Unhappy 370Z Nismo's won't fit 350Z Roadster!

So I got a used set locally. I should have got the ebay set but won't go in to that in this thread. I test mounted the front and it clears the Brembo's same as stock by a few MM. The problem is the OEM tires have a lip protector which rubs the A-Arm. I didn't not lower it but it looked like I would have to roll the fender lip. I did not test fit the rear.

A spacer would solve the rubbing but then it may rub when fully turned. At first I though the hub was too large to but you have to push and snap it in. Studs fit fine but lugs will not work. Damnit, ebay set cam with lugs. Ok, who out bid me in the last 5 seconds?

They fit the RX-7 perfectly with wide fender kit.

What is "/thread"?

I bought the OEM Nismo's thinking they would be a perfect fit. I did not want to do spacers, hub rings, buy new lugs, etc. I was originally going to do the GT coupe wheels. Now i'm wondering if there was a reason the GT roadster didn't get the same wheels.

If I use spacers (and buy 370Z lugs) I think I would have to roll the front fenders. I still don't know if they clear the rear. Has anybody tried this setup? Anyone, anyone ...Beauler?

I think they may end up on my RX-7.

Been done a couple hundred times before, just order the proper spacers to bring them to 350Z specs and your set.

Please list the offset from the wheels, it is stamped on the inside of the wheel. You will also need new front tires, the 370 comes with the wrong tire stagger.

Supposedly, but I only found one dead link (no updates or pics). I think they are +45-F / +30 R. I can't get to them right now but will double check later. Tires are 245/40-19 F Yoko Advan's / 285/35-19 R Goodyear F1's. I believe oem rear should be 275.

Here is the original thread I based the purchase on. He has Stoptech instead of Brembo but the calipers aren't the issue. It's possible different tires may give me the 1mm I need but that's an added expense. I still don't know if the raodster fitment is different then the coupe though.

You will need a 15mm spacer for your front, you will also need a 255/35-19 front tire.

350Z and 370Z are completely different cars with different suspensions. The Nismo 350Z run a 18x9 +30 front and 19x10 +30 rear. http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp use this site and compair, if you add a 15mm front spacer to the wheels you have it will make it an offset of +30

Do you want to try a 225 mm tire up front or is that not an option?

Thread merged with existing NISMO thread, you will note if you actually viewed this thread that what you have is not something that came with the wheel originally.

What you're looking for does not exist.
