    Absolutely.

    Coil-overs have no effect on clearance.

    Stock Z32 "Twin Turbo" wheels were only available in the USA or Europe.
    Australian & Japanese N/A & TT Z32's have the same size wheels front & back, being 16x7.5JJ with a 45mm offset.
    As the wheels are directional, the two on the left are the of same configuration, whilst the two on the right are of the opposite configuration to the left.
    The wheels can be 'rotated' front & back only, not diagonally.
    "Twin Turbo" wheels are staggered, that is the rears are wider than the front.
    The front wheels are the same as used on the Australian & Japanese Z32's, being 16x7.5JJ & 45mm offset.
    The TT rear wheels however, are 1" wider, being 16x8.5JJ & have a 35mm offset.
    They are also directional, therefore the wheels can't be 'rotated' front & back or diagonally.
    The rear wheels are slightly different in appearance to the fronts, as the spoke surfaces appear to be a little flatter.
    They will not rock on the spoke surface near the Z centre cap, but will sit on the outside edge of the rim when placed face down on a flat surface (with the tyres removed).
    They also have reinforcing ribs cast into the surface of the rim, which are visible through the spokes.
    When mounted on the vehicle, they would not be easily identifiable to the JDM wheels when viewed directly from the side.
    When viewed from any other angle, it is apparent they are different, as they fill up the space in the rear guards, the outer surface of the tyre is almost to the edge of the wheel arch.

    Really hard to find. I think I've only ever found one pair on eBay, and they were going for about $400... not including shipping.
