I cannot see your pictures but if they are z32 wheels there are two different set ups.
If they came off of a n/a car then they all four are 16x7.5" +45 offset.
If they came off of a factory turbo car then the fronts are the same as the n/a set up but the rears are 16x8.5 +35 offset. I am pretty sure the stock third gen wheels are 6 or 6.5" wide with a +35 offset. I know there is at least one guy with them on his 3rd gen, not sure which variation he has or if he is running spacers.
In stock form I am pretty sure the turbo rears would work. I am running 16x8.5" +37 offset, wheels on my third gen and they fit in the front. I spaced the rear out 10mmto make them sit more flush with the fenders, with out the spacer I am not sure you would be able to clear the suspension in the rear. When I mounted mine with no tires they fit, but once I put on my 245/45/16 they rubbed the rear suspension, so you may be able to get away with running a narrower tire and no spacers.
As for the stock n/a wheels since the offset is higher than stock, and they are wider you would have to worry about them possibly hitting the calipers or suspension with out using spacers.
