I don't think. You may opt to run spacers, but not required. These were specifically ordered and suggested by five axis for Z/G35 fitment. This is the best setup they offer without going custom. 10.5" with ET 33 is definitely comparable to other wheels on the forum.

i feel like you have the offsets written down wrong bro, oem 18's are +30 and are sunken in like crap, these sit flush on that Z. and also my sevas are +25 and are a little more pushed out, but with something like a +33 that a sedan offset...

From Rommel Jimenez (Vertex350 on My350z.com) owner of the Z on the photo. His car just debuted at SEMA '08. This information is taken from another thread on my350z.com.
"I figured I should chime in since I've had the wheels since April '08.
I have to say, so far so good. I've put about 15K miles on them, 70 miles round trip Monday through Friday to work in Palm Springs, and 30 of those miles in construction zones with jacked up pavement. Various spirited driving, going to shows in San Diego, Hollywood, etc. Basically, I've had no structural issues with them as a daily driver.
It has weathered the rains in April and May. No problems with humidity and 118 degree average temps of Palm Springs for the summer months of June through August. I wash my car and wheels every week inspecting for any peeling, cracks, fading, chips, etc and they've held up very well. No wheel finish issues at all. BTW the pics that Andy is showing is from a photoshoot a couple of weeks ago. As you can see, no flaking, bends, or any other cosmetic and structural issues.
The longevity of anything... whether it be wheels, engine, or brakes depends on the owner's use of it. But I can speak honestly that I've put the wheels through some pretty harsh road and weather conditions. For the majority who wants a well made wheel, that looks good, and will be suitable as a daily driver then this is for you. I can't speak for track use since I haven't taken there to test it out but for the streets it's a great choice.
As for weights, I didn't get a chance to weigh them before I had Rick@Status mount the tires. But from just taking off the wheels and tires at home, they're definitely lighter than my old 19" meisters and feel right about the same weight with my 19" Volks and 19" SSR multi pc wheels."
"With this setup on the car right now, yes spacers are needed. Offsets are +35 front and +33 rear."
He has 20" so the offsets are slightly different. Hope that answers your question.
