So, I just went out to the garage and compared the fit of a conical (regular/aftermarket) lug nut with a Nissan washer style lugnut on the Enkei spare. It looks like you could get by with using the conical lugs in a pinch, like a short drive to the nearest tire shop (all the spare should be used for anyway), but I wouldn't recommend it. The washer style lugs definitely provide a far more secure fit for the rim design.

Good thinking AK to carry 5 of the washer style lugs in the Z for the spare if you're running aftermarket rims.

The big question that I couldn't get my local dealer to figure out for me was if I can get skinnier 18" rims over the sport package brakes. And now I know!

Like some others here I'm not a fan of having the rear tires inset when going with 225s all around. Though I'm not relishing the idea of putting spacers on in the fall and taking them off in the summer. Whereas there isn't a huge selection compatible of wheels at TireRack just yet (though bigger than just a few months ago I think), has anyone tried to find wheels that come with different offsets? Say, get the fronts with a 35mm offset and the rears with a 0mm - 5mm offset?
