Nissan R35 GT-R Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide

Looking for fitment advice for your 2008 - Current Nissan GT-R? Our R35 Nissan GT-R fitment guide has vehicle-specific wheel and tire size recommendations that allow you to run wider tires and increase performance on and off the track. Whether your goal is to improve aesthetics, performance, or a mix of both, our forged VS-5RS is a fantastic wheel option.

Brake Clearance Information

In the engineering phase of wheel development we 3D scan factory brakes and review 2D aftermarket brake templates in order to optimize our barrel profiles and spoke curvatures. As a result, our wheels offer massive brake clearance so you can run the smallest possible wheel diameter.

*All Apex Nissan GT-R wheels are designed to clear factory brakes.
