About This Nissan GT-R R35 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Black Nissan GT-R R35 sits on a set of 20×10 and 20×12-inch Incurve TS-5 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Incurve for a reason. This brand delivers serious quality and a design language that turns heads at every car meet. We see hundreds of Nissan GT-R builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the Black exterior with the Incurve TS-5 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Incurve TS-5 on the Nissan GT-R R35
I walked around this GT-R at the shop and the fitment on these Incurve TS-5 wheels is perfect. We ran a 20x10 up front and a massive 20x12 in the rear. This setup fills the R35 wheel wells exactly how Godzilla intended.
The R35 is a heavy car, so we needed a wheel that handles the torque. The TS-5 design clears the massive Brembo calipers without needing aggressive spacers. You get plenty of room for those heat-soaking rotors.
We paid close attention to the offset on this build to keep the tires flush with the fender line. The 20x12 rear setup creates a deep, aggressive barrel that looks mean from every angle. It creates that classic widebody stance without actually needing overfenders.
The hub bore on these wheels fits the Nissan hub perfectly. We hate running hub-centric rings if we can avoid them. This direct fit ensures we get zero vibration at triple-digit speeds.
The spoke design on the TS-5 curves inward to give the wheel a three-dimensional look. It draws your eye toward the center of the wheel. It highlights the serious performance hardware underneath the car.
We always check for rubbing on the inner fender liners during full compression. With this specific offset, the tires clear the liners even when we push the car hard in corners. You will not find any unwanted rubbing here.
The owner decided to lower the car on adjustable coilovers to finish the look. Dropping the ride height tucks the tire just enough to look aggressive but still keeps it functional. It is a proper track-inspired street setup.
What We Recommend for Nissan GT-R R35 Owners
Do not go wider than a 12-inch rear wheel unless you plan to run a widebody kit. The 10-inch front and 12-inch rear combo is the golden ratio for the R35. It keeps the car agile without inducing weird handling quirks.
Stick to a high-performance tire with a stiff sidewall. The GT-R puts down way too much power to run cheap rubber. We love a 285 front and 335 rear tire width for maximum grip.
Avoid cheap spacers at all costs. If you need to dial in the fitment, buy wheels with the correct offset from the start. Spacers add unnecessary weight and introduce weak points to your hub assembly.
Watch your alignment specs once you install new wheels. We recommend a slightly aggressive negative camber to keep the tires from chewing up your fender lips. It also helps with turn-in response on the street.
Many owners make the mistake of choosing wheels that are too heavy. The Incurve TS-5 offers a great balance of strength and weight. You want to keep your unsprung weight as low as possible to protect the suspension.
Style and Build Analysis
This murdered-out look works perfectly on the R35’s aggressive body lines. The mix of matte black centers and gloss black lips provides a subtle contrast that catches the light in different ways. It looks dark, moody, and intimidating.
Those gloss white bolts are the secret sauce of this wheel build. They pop against the sea of black and draw your attention to the hardware. It is a small detail that makes a massive visual difference.
The contrast between the matte and gloss finishes makes the wheel look deep. You can tell exactly where the center ends and the lip begins. It creates a layered effect that looks premium and intentional.
I have seen a lot of GT-Rs, but this one feels cohesive. Many builds look busy or cluttered with too many colors. This black-on-black theme with white highlights keeps it clean and timeless.
The proportions of the TS-5 spokes match the sharp edges of the Nissan bodywork. Everything flows from the front splitter to the rear diffuser. It looks like a factory-optional setup turned up to eleven.
Why We Love This Build
We love this build because it feels like a dark storm cloud rolling down the highway. The way the gloss black lips reflect the asphalt while the matte centers hold the shape is pure art. It is a perfect example of how small hardware choices turn a standard wheel into a custom masterpiece.
Standing next to this car, you feel the raw presence of the R35. The Incurve TS-5 wheels fill the arches with authority and demand respect from everyone on the road. It is aggressive without being loud.
If you want to transform your GT-R, stop looking for basic wheels. This setup proves that black on black is the best look for a Nissan. Go get yourself a set of these and never look back.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to Nissan GT-R owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 20×10 and 20×12-inch wheels fit my Nissan GT-R? Yes, but fitment depends on width, offset, and tire size working together. A wrong offset means rubbing. A wrong tire size means poor handling. Always verify all three.
Do I need to modify my fenders? That depends on your offset and suspension. A conservative offset with stock ride height usually fits without modification. Go aggressive and you may need to roll or pull your fenders.
Can I daily-drive this setup? Absolutely. Thousands of Nissan GT-R owners run 20×10 and 20×12-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
