K370Z2 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Started fitting some of the mods i bought for the Zed months ago. Time for the Eipach wheel spacers for the rear, took the first rear wheel off and there a huge nail head sitting in the tyre. Ill be getting that fixed tomorrow but that got me thinking i don't want to rely on the squirty foam when in the middle of no where. Done that on my bike and the AA recovered. So time to fit a spare wheel to the 370Z. i know its in here but looking for some guidance. Question is - Has anybody done this? Do i have to lose the Sub Woofer out of the boot to allow the fitment? Has any body got the parts required to do this along with a jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayster Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I have spare wheel as standard but I have 18s as standard (non gt) .... I saw one one ebay for sale the other day - not cheap though... I think the sub fits inside it?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K370Z2 Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 The plot thickens after Brayster's comments. I have the 19" on my Black Edition, so my questions remain the same as i never knew the 370 came with different wheel fitments. Thanks for the link Ebized i take it you have done this successfully and the sub woofer remained. Could you PM me where you got the bits from and the costing.

Can't seem to find the thread now, want to do the same/similar. Other than the optional thicker boot mat (it was a free dealer option in my case) that fits over the plasticy floor cover, I have not done any other insulation in the boot area.

Oh ok and thanks, must have confused you with another, am sure I've seen someone discuss noise insulation just can't find it, cheers anyway.

K370Z2 Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 That looks the business & what it should of looked like all along, time to get hunting for the wheel & jack. I have just fitted 20mm spacers to the rear & intend to fit 25mm to front. Will the spare wheel bolt directly on with that configuration regardless of a puncture or will i need to carry an additional spacer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayster Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111355737015 Genuine 370z spare wheel with part number - this is the same one that's in mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, is the answer, but personally I would use 25mm spacers on the rear as well - just for appearance sake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K370Z2 Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 I had already purchased the spacers some time ago and went with 20mm on the rear with 25mm on the front. I will get this sorted with the information provided & thanks for all the input from everyone. Looking a little further forward has anybody used and recommend any soundproofing as it is something i want to tie in with this mod & looking at the rest of car to tone the road noise down a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baidan Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Hi, I'm pretty sure I've seen a thread on here where someone does just that, they had left over sound proofing for a VW golf they'd worked on, can't find the thread will let you know if I find it. If not I'm just going to get some and sound proof where I can, needs doing IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not I'm just going to get some and sound proof where I can, needs doing IMO. That twas me .. I have a whole roll of under felt that I cut a piece off. To be honest now I have short tails I have no idea if it made a big difference. I do intend on getting a luxury boot mat as the one I have is very thin... Which is why I thought I'd try adding the felt in the first place. Edited June 17, 2014 by Brayster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K370Z2 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 It was the stick on silver stuff i was looking for, I seen in on Wheeler Dealers & various other car programs on the discovery channel, they all said it was the best for reducing the acoustic tire roar from the rear. I have purchased the thicker mat for the boot already but just thought i would do this whilst i get the spare wheel sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalada Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I'm having a rather frustrating time sourcing a spare wheel/tyre for my 370Z (with 19" alloys). Getting the spare wheel is easy. But getting a T145/70R18 tyre is impossible (as another thread has pointed out). I've tried speaking to Nissan, a couple of tyre places, but no joy. The best suggestion given was to find out if a slightly different tyre size (one that is manufactured) would work, but Nissan just said "There's no such thing as a spare tyre for a 370Z", when obviously there is and what I'd like to know is where are all the tyres coming from for the countries where it's a legal requirement!? Does anyone have any advice for me? I was hoping to get this resolved before my road trip through Europe in 2 weeks but I don't think that's gonna happen now!...

parello9 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 ive got the spare wheel and foam for a 370z boot for sale its whats pictured above the white 370z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalada Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I just used a t145/80r/18 every thing fits fine Is that on the 370z wheel? Have you tried it on the car & do you have 19" or 18" standard (does that even make a difference? They specify different tyre sizes so I guess so...) ive got the spare wheel and foam for a 370z boot for sale its whats pictured above the white 370z Thanks buddy, I'm considering it, but mindful of the cost of needing to buy the spacer too with the 350z spare (assuming that's what it is?)
