Spare tire for Z

[Bucko]

Can someone tell me if a "donut" spare from a 370Z Nismo will fit a 2023 Z Performance? Or a "regular" 370Z spare for that matter? I'm guessing the bolt pattern is the same but wondering about it clearing the calipers. Thanks.

Brakes have the same clearance, for now. All current Z models use the same brakes as the 370Z and even the Infiniti sedan and coupe.

If we get a Nismo, that may change as it looks to be using different brakes.

Thanks! Just got my wheel/tire and Jack on eBay.

Just search eBay for "370z spare tire" and "370z jack". You'll get plenty of hits to research.

Did the 370Z 18" rim work out for you? I'm thinking of purchasing a 370z T145/70R18 spare from a 370 and I'm on the fence. My brother who's owned several sports coupes asked me a legitimate question about how often I've needed a spare. He drove a 2006 Mini Cooper S for years that came standard with "fix a flat" too. I get that the "fix a flat" option is fine unless it's a sidewall flat. How important is it to have a donut? On my 2007 Frontier I got a matching rim and rotate five tires. Being 4WD I've had plenty of flats. Obviously, the Z won't be going to those places. It would be nice to be able to do that with this car, but then again, my Frontier isn't nearly as fun as the Z.

I feel like the space where the tire should go is kind of wasted anyway as I don't have any interest in an upgraded sound system. Of course, I'll need to get the jack and lug wrench and then figure out how to keep it from rattling around. Is the foam insert from a 370 with a spare the same as the current Z?

Apologies in advance for the many questions. I've always wanted a Z since my aunt drove 240s, 260's, 280's and 300's when I was young. Finally have one and want it to last a long time.
