Anyone have any idea what the stock weight on the 93 fastback 240sx wheel and tire weight? I want to upgrade my wheels and tires but want to save on weight as well. I tried a search but did not come up with anything.

did you try the links in the FAQ?....cuse it'sin those links.....

-ChetPS: every different brand, size, and tread design tire have different weights....so unless you weigh your current setup, you can't get a precise number. focuse on reducing wheel weight and go from there.

how accurate are the tire weights that Tirerack has under their tire specs?

If they're correct, that means my wheels weigh 20lbs!

What model and size are they? That doesn't sound off the wall for what people like to put on their cars.

I'd say a stock S13 wheel with a touring tire weighs about the 25 - 28 lb. region.

your stock 7 spokes weigh 18 pounds, figure the average tire weighs at least 15 pounds, id say its more like 35 lbs for the combo
