370z Damage Lug Nut Fix, Spare Tire For Akebono Brakes On Base Model, Can Rear tires mount in front?

Описание: Before changing the base model 370z brakes to Akebono Brakes on stock 18" rims you must watch the second half of this video to save you A LOT OF HEADACHES!!!! I've made this change happen in an older video only to realize the base spare tire won't fit with the large brakes in a time of need!!! You need to upgrade to the Sports package 18" rim to clear the break calipers. I found this out the hard way when I had a broken valve stem from the local car wash! A few more things had popped up as well with this requirement such as a longer bolt to mount it in the trunk due to the depth of the hub being different and the foam spacer being too tall because of the new rim height. This wasn't the only thing messed up! My lug nuts were swollen due to the tire place using the incorrect socket and the OEM lugs having a beauty fused sleeve that delaminates from the core. I warn you NOT to buy AFTERMARKET LUG NUTS because the dimensions are INCORRECT even though they look similar!!!!! Watch as I make a repair to mu stock lug nuts until I can get new ones to replace them. This should be thought about before buying any New rims, Lugs and compatibility with a spare on all cars. Another thing I show is mounting the rear rim to the front so you can do tire rotation, this won't work unless you do a modification I mention. You will also need to make sure the wheel does not rub on anything in its turning radius.
