Issues with mounting the front wheels
 
I have a set of Volk GT-V and I got them for my 350Z earlier this year and ended up in a 370z and I am trying to put them on. I got the rears on with little/no issues but the fronts just WONT go on. WTF ? When vendors are saying "Got wheels in for the 370z" are they saying there is a difference ? I hope not but any input ?

offsets are the only difference.....what's not fitting??

the brakes in the way??
the caliper in the way??
the extra metal stud in the way on the rotor??

I was thinking that extra metal stud may be in the way but there are..indentions(if that's the right word to describe them) that it should fit in. it almost seems like the wheel wont go on over the hub centric ring.

the metal stud could be in the way, remove it and try

That metal stud threw me for a loop with my Z at first.

stud only comes on sport package

take off the stud, like others have said. Its only there to keep idiot dealership mechanics from putting the rear wheels on the front by accident. Your wheels have indentations, but they are probably not quite deep enough.

Not True. I have non-sport and I had to remove the stud for my wheels.
