Thanks for all the replies guys..

- Thanks for that link, I checked it out and 1.07% difference to one space saver I've been looking at which is off a 370z.

-I'm in the same situation now, as I upgraded to r34gtr vspec2 brakes since last using the stock space saver.
I haven't trial fitted at the back yet, I assume it may foul the calliper as it sits further away from the hub to accommodate the bigger disc?
I've ran the stock 16" space saver once when I had a puncture on the rear left (had r34gtt callipers at the time), didn't go over 60kmh and only needed to drive about 10km distance. Could really feel the car tilting toward the left rear. I dint like it at all.

- I haven't heard that before regarding the position of the space saver...thanks to you both for raising that point.
Just went and double checked my tire size, I'm running 245/40/18.
Regarding the 370z space saver I saw it is 145 / 70R18 107M.
However in regard to hub diameter, apparently 370z is 66.1mm. Where as Stagea/Skyline is 66mm diameter.
I've seen a couple of websites contradict these diameters in recent days in further searches, advising 66mm on Stagea/Skyline/370z or 66.1mm for all three. (grrrrrr).
That leads to more questions ie.
What is the definitive hub diameter of these vehicles?
Could you run the 370z space saver (66.1mm) on a Skyline/Stagea (66mm) hub if those measurements are correct?
Would it cause too much pressure on the studs without that snug hub fitment and cause them to crack or snap?
Would the space saver run in an elliptical manner as not centred on the hub correctly even by .1mm?
ps. I've got r34gtr rims.
