I was told by Nissan in Calgary that the regular 17" rim will not fit over the track brakes. You have to have sufficient offset to clear the brembo.
Just looking at it seems to make sense. Does any track model users have try to do it.
I also have read in one of the posts that the spare wouldn't fit either. I wonder if this is true???
