I see 3 choices:
1. Swap after market wheels to wheel-style that has void at the rear in correct place - costly

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 !!

That bolt has nothing to do with holding on the rotor. It is merely there to keep from putting the rear rims on the front. That is the only reason that it is there.
