I just tried to put on my new rims (Volk GT-N) and there's an extra bolt on the rotor that I've never seen before. Is this the alignment pin you were talking about? Will removing the bolt cause any damage?

you can remove that bolt. Its just to keep the stock rear wheels from getting put on the front by an ignorant service tech.

Good info on alignment pin--have to give that a try. I bought the following for a '03 350z Touring 6-spd
WHEELS : ENKEI RPF1 18x8.5 F / 18x9.5 R
TIRES : FALKEN GR BETA FK-451 / 245/40ZR-18 Front - 275/40ZR-18 Rear

Installed front wheels without adapter because would not fit with alignment pin. Hopefully reinstalling with spacer/adapter the came in installation kit will fix low-speed roar from front end.

Sup dude. According to www.finalstageauto.com those tire sizes will work w/ z. Look up package for VOLK GT7 wheels on site.

The 275-35-18 is shorter than the 245-40.
245-40-18 25.72"
275-35-18 25.58"

You want to try to maintain the stagger of the stock set up, between 1/2" & 3/4" front to rear, front obviously shorter.

Method. Do anywhere from a 8-9" up front. Stay low on offset, +25 or so, 245 tires usually ideal. In the rear, 9-10.5 with offsets in the +25 to +35 range. 275 to 295 rear tires.

Has anyone tried using the combonation of :

Front: 245 40 18
Rear: 275 40 18

I am having a hard time finding front stock size of 225 45 18 and someone recommended the aforementioned size. Has anyone tried it? If so, how does it compare to the stock version?

Any advise would help, thanks.
