Your aftermarket wheels clearly do not have a void in the hub-face similar to the Rays ....

I see 3 choices:
1. Swap after market wheels to wheel-style that has void at the rear in correct place - costly
2. Remove the offending bolt - implies that the rotor is not held securely without the wheel in place, BUT I don't see that as significant as the wheel will secure the rotor
3. Accepting that the bolt should actually be there, then find a machine shop to machine a void on the rear of the after-market wheels.

Question for those in the US .... the OP says he has a 370Z Touring, but the photo looks like Akebono front calipers - so should this bolt actually be present .... I've got an MY09 with Akebono calipers and don;t have a bolt in this location. I'm thinking that this bolt should not be there in any event !!
