Weight of the OEM 18x8/18x9 wheels?

I dont understand why so many people keep asking the same kind of question. Look the Z34 is the same across the board, Roadster, Base, Touring, Nismo. The wheels all work interchangably with no issues people. Relax and go for a drive.

True, but..... is the diameter different between them all?

The diameters are...

Base: F 18X8 R 18X9
Rays: F 19X9 R 19X10
Nismo: F 19X9.5 R 19X10

If you're talking about the diameter of the tire they are....

Base: 225/50R18 26.85 in 245/45R18 26.68 in
Rays: 245/40R19 26.71 in 275/35R19 26.57 in

I don't have the Nismo tire size but keep in mind these cars are mass produced. Nissan isn't going to calibrate the speedometer three different ways. It's much cheaper for them to keep all the wheels they offer roughly the same diameter so they don't have to fiddle with the speedometer for each model
