Yes.
Depending on your tire size you may rub and need to roll your fenders but probably not.

Please search next time. This has been discussed sooooo many times.

The front is OK but the rear will rub unless you roll.

rear u will rub, get some tires with a round sidewall, but i would go somewhere between 43-48 to be safe.

See what happens when you bolt them up. You WILL rub!

If it is stock height you will be ok.

I have 10" rear wheels (+43) with a 275/30/20 and a 1.0" H&R rear drop. I had to roll mine. If these are 0.5" narrower with an offset almost the same you might be ok with a mild drop like the older 350Z springs.

Key word... might

i talked to the guy on cardomain that had the wheels im getting and he had the same exact offsets on his 03 and he said there was no rubbing at all, even w/ people in the back, until he dropped the car Im not positive on what kind of drop it was, but he said he then rolled the fenders

That's great, your experience may vary.

I agree with u. it is not going to be constant rubbing but it will rub if u have people in the back and ur making a right or left turn or going over a small bump. That is the most annoying crap ever.

If you are not sure just cut or roll your rear fenders. It is not hard to do. Just make sure and heat your paint a little so you don't crack the clear coat.

can someone explain the process of rolling the fenders. i'm pretty sure i will have to do that because i will be dropped on eibachs pro. do you have to take it somewhere to get rolled or can you do it yourself? thanks.

take it to a body shop to get the fenders rolled. you don't want to crack your paint and have to repaint half the car.

+43 or +45 would be good offset for 8.5" wide rim.
