OEM 19" Sport Wheels on Non-Sport

Hey guys / gals... Hope everyone is doing well.

I finally found a set of 19" OEM wheels from a junkyard for dirt cheap that needed a little TLC. Now that I've restored them I'm needing to know if the springs on the Non-Sport models are different than that of the Sport.

I read through the stickies on here and found out the sway bars are the same but couldn't find any info on the springs.

My question is, if I put the 19" wheels on with my stock suspension will it look identical (height wise) to the Sport model or will there be a noticeable (above average) gap?

​​​​​​Would anyone have pics for reference?

Thanks.

Updated.

I found this post from 2012. If what TVPostSound said is correct then Non-Sport G37's are actually a hair lower than their Sport counterpart. If anyone has some pics of their Non-Sport G with the OEM 19" wheels I'd love to see how it looks. Thanks!

Not to be rude...

why don't you just bolt the wheels you actually have onto the car you actually drive?

Isn't that better than photos?

I'm 99.9% sure that the sport suspension is stiffer. Not sure if lower/taller.

The screen shot you've shown above shows a 0.04" difference. That's like the thickness of a penny...

Hey no worries, I appreciate the response.
Truth is, I purchased my G back in Jan 2020 (right before Covid hit) and what ever funds I had set aside for my ride got redirected to more urgent priorities.
I haven't been able to get new tires just yet (hopefully soon with work reaching a more normative schedule). I was simply updating the thread with information in case someone else came looking after me.
I'll be sure to update once the wheels are on.

Thanks again!
