Do the fronts and backs have to be staggered?

I've finally found an aftermarket wheel that I'd want on my Z. It's the 5Zigen Hyper 5ZR model. Only problem is, the 18 inch wheel only comes in 18x7.5. I thought we always had to stagger the fronts and back on our particular vehicles using a larger wheel in the back. Can I buy these wheels or should I just look for another style that comes staggered?
thanks
thanks

i run 18x8.5 all around with 245/45 all around. With my previously lowered suspension: VDC hated it on right hand turns. Now with a 2006 suspension, no problems.
Like the other guy said, get a width larger then 7.5. hell, i want a 9.5 on my rear!

Sorry if I am hijacking, but I had a few questions on topic with this thread.
Found out my 03 is enthusiast, no VDC (what is that exactly?) I am working on getting new rims if I can find some I can afford. I Noted the point to get something larger than 7.5 width.
CUxtopher - Will I have suspension problems if I do lowering springs only on a pair of 18" rims, something larger than 7.5 width? I am brand new to 350Zs and have the stock 17" rims for now.

It is electonic stability and traction controll.
