Will they fit, yes. That's a pretty good set up for a Z32. They won't be as sunken as the stock set up, but you won't need to pull the fenders to make them fit. The 275 rear tires may cause a slight rub (if you're lowered), but that can be fixed by a mild roll on the fenders inner lip.

Now if it were me, I'd watch craigslist (the Phoenix one has TONS) for some OEM Nissan take offs (think newer 350Z or G35 coupe) and get better wheels, possibly with tires for less and you won't have to pay hundreds for shipping.

These look/fit great on a Z32.http://phoenix.craigslist.org/....html

Hope that helps.

im planning on repainting my z to GN0 white and wanted some chromies to help bring out some clean-ness but my rears are both bald and fronts are about fiddy percent so this gets me "thinking" cuz the 2 rear(tires) are around 250bucks ... im not that big a fan of z33 rims on z32s even tho they are a deal lemme google around and see if i can find some on a white z32

currently running stock suspension planning on doing kyb agx and some lowering springs

Just be warned the wheels you linked are "cheap wheels" and those "in the know" will see you picked flash over substance.

As they say, you get what you pay for
