About This Nissan GT-R R35 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This White Nissan GT-R R35 sits on a set of 20×10 and 20×12-inch Advan R6 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Advan 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 White exterior with the Advan R6 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Advan R6 on the Nissan GT-R R35
I walked around this white R35 at the meet, and the Advan R6 fitment stopped me dead in my tracks. Running a 20x10 up front and a 20x12 out back provides that aggressive, staggered stance the GT-R platform craves. These sizes fill the arches perfectly without looking forced or excessive.
The 35mm offset in the front tucks the wheel cleanly under the factory fender line. We see zero poke here, which keeps the clean aesthetic intact while maintaining steering geometry. It feels purposeful and track-ready.
Out back, that 20mm offset on the 12-inch width pushes the wheel right to the edge of the quarter panel. This is where the R35 really shows its muscle. You get that deep, concave look that only a serious 12-inch barrel can provide.
Caliper clearance on the R35 is always a nightmare, but these Advans clear the massive Brembos with ease. The spoke design arcs outward just enough to avoid any contact. You will never need a spacer to clear the brakes on this setup.
The hub bore fits the Nissan platform like a glove. We hate dealing with hub-centric rings, so having a direct fit makes installation a breeze. Everything sits flush and stays vibration-free at high speeds.
The barrel depth on the 20x12 rear wheels is the highlight of the build. It gives the car a grounded, hunkered-down look that makes the GT-R feel wider than it already is. The proportion is perfect for the stock body lines.
I checked the fender gaps closely, and this car sits on coilovers that drop it just enough to kill the wheel gap. Watch for rubbing on the inner liner during full lock if you go too low. The clearance is tight, but it is just right for a street car.
What We Recommend for Nissan GT-R R35 Owners
If you want to replicate this, stick to 20-inch wheels. Going up to 21s often ruins the ride quality and tire selection is severely limited. The 20-inch diameter is the sweet spot for handling and aesthetics on this chassis.
Always run a staggered setup on an AWD car like the GT-R. A square setup creates massive headaches for the ATTESA system. Stick to a 2-inch width difference between front and rear to keep your drivetrain happy.
For offsets, do not get too greedy. We suggest staying within a 5mm window of this 35mm and 20mm spec. Pushing the offset too low will ruin your scrub radius and make the car tramline on every highway groove.
Tire selection matters as much as the wheel choice itself. Pair these Advans with a high-performance tire like a Michelin Pilot Sport 4S or Cup 2. Do not stretch the tires; run a wide contact patch to actually put that power to the ground.
Common mistakes usually involve cheap spacers or aggressive offsets that destroy the fenders. If you need to roll your fenders, you have likely chosen the wrong wheel specs. Get the offset right from the start and skip the bodywork.
Style and Build Analysis
The Machining & Black Coated Graphite finish is a masterstroke against the bright white paint. It creates a high-contrast look that feels modern and industrial. The graphite isn't just flat black; it has a depth that changes as the sun hits the spokes.
The machined lip adds a bright highlight that frames the wheel perfectly. It breaks up the dark void of the tires and makes the wheel diameter pop against the white body. It gives the car a premium, bespoke feel.
The six-spoke design is a classic Advan move, but the R6 adds a refined twist. The spokes are thin enough to look light but strong enough to handle the GT-R’s torque. It avoids the cluttered look of multi-spoke wheels found on many other builds.
Proportions are everything on an R35, and this build nails it. The wheels look like they belong on a factory concept car rather than an aftermarket garage project. It is clean, purposeful, and avoids the "tuner" cliches that plague this platform.
When you park this next to a stock R35, the difference is night and day. This setup makes the car look faster even when it is sitting still. It brings a level of sophistication that most GT-R builds completely miss.
Why We Love This Build
I cannot stop looking at how the sunlight plays off the graphite finish against that crisp white body. The car looks like a predator waiting to strike, with the wheels filling the arches with mathematical precision. It is the perfect balance of form and function.
This R35 proves you do not need widebody kits or wild colors to make a statement. It uses high-quality parts and perfect fitment to elevate the factory design to the next level. It grabs attention for all the right reasons.
We see thousands of cars, but this one sticks in my mind as the gold standard for an R35 street car. If you want to transform your GT-R, this is the blueprint you follow. Do it once and do it right.

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.
