December 1, 20168 yr comment_507221 Yeah, I know all about the fitment to the car, just not the fit to the Rewind wheel. I assume you mean the three ribs in the top left pic? BTW, what lugnuts did you use with your Rewinds? Mine is a race car, so open is fine.

Just do a trial fitment and it will be real obvious what you need to shave off. I think I just used standard chromed lug nuts. Nothing special at all.

The guy I bought mine from is no longer in business. Not sure who sells them now, but I am sure someone must. As I recall, the caliper has 2 or 3 ribs on the top of it. I used a grinder to shave one of them off. It wasn't hard, just messy and stinky. You will love it though. It is definitely a worthwhile mod.

They said use the "bulge" style lug nuts. Not the tapered ones.

I wondered the same thing, I have two sets of Rewinds and never heard that before but it's a thing. I've bought two sets of these lug nuts off ebay.com. Good quality chrome lug nuts with a key for $30 less than discounttire.com. They say you need 20 for a 240Z but we know better so I buy these for a Sentra. http://www.ebay.com/itm/16-12X1-25-SILVER-LUG-NUTS-FITS-NISSAN-ALTIMA-MAXIMA-SENTRA-/110687627023?vxp=mtr&hash=item19c57f270f 240Z 20 count http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-12X1-25-SILVER-LUG-NUTS-FITS-NISSAN-200SX-240SX-240Z-260Z-/400216097962?vxp=mtr&hash=item5d2ebd04aa Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/56594-spinning-my-wheels-yet-another-wheel-thread/?&page=2#findComment-507250 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 1, 20168 yr comment_507267 The Bulge Style nuts just have a ridge that prevents the socket from bottoming in the lug hole and damaging the alloy surface.

December 10, 20168 yr Author comment_507786 After more hemming and hawing and seeing enough photos of cars with them that I convinced myself I would learn to like them enough, I finally decided on the 16x7 RBs.

December 28, 20168 yr Author comment_509112 Merry Christmas to me! Went with 225/50/16 rubber, compared to the 205/60/14 that was there before. Fills out everything nicely and I hope they don't rub. I'm short on lug nuts, though, so no driving yet.
