These should fit an 05 base Z, correct?

By the way, I've been searching for 1+hr, so if you say search...

 

They will. Your 17' wheels also fit the brembo brakes too. You'll need a wheel spacer if you want the 'flush' look aswell.

 

yes they will fit

 

Well, the problem is, they won't. I bought some Track rims and they won't go on my hub!

My car came with aftermarket wheels on it. Can someone post a picture of their stock hub so I can see if anything's different about mine? It doesn't look like my car has spacers. BTW, I feel dumb.

 

It takes some muscling to do. Its hard to get it in, but once it goes in the hub, itll torque down to be perfect.
Do you have a hubcentric ring? Its a peice of plastic circle that makes sure all the wheels are aligned on the hub right.

 

^Yes, there's a spacer around the actual wheel hub. The hub on my wheels is larger than the stock Nissan hub, obviously. The spacer's metal, though, and I've no idea how to get it off!

 

One of these:

Around the hub.

EDIT: aha, that: http://www.miata.net/garage/hubcentric.html

 

WTF AAAGGGGHHHH!!!! I got three off, but the front right wheel won't come off. The holes for the lug nuts are too small for my socket to fit into! Very weird because it fit fine into all the others with plenty of room. It won't even go into four of them, and my socket just got stuck in the fifth! wtf?

 

sounds like a wheel lock now...

yeah, you most likely have hub rings on your car...
take those off...

you probably already have the front bolts removed from the rotors already so that shouldnt be an issue...

 

Take your time and work this through. The ring and hub are fused together. Use some penetrating fluid. Let it sit. Tap the ring with a chisel and hammer. Any progress?

Move to Plan B. Rent a nut-buster. A BIG nut-buster!
