Standard wheels in mint condition look the best in my opinion most of those cars in pictures have been lowered and had bigger brakes that'd why they look good put them onto a standard car and they wownt look like that I've been there buddy

Those second set are also made by COR but made only for Specialized Performance on NAGTROC.

Welcome! I can't imagine changing wheel sizes between axles would do any good to the transmission - Ferrari etc being RWD it doesn't matter but I guess the GT-R computers would throw and absolute fit and eventually cause massive damage to drivetrain with mismatch wheel sizes (unless you kept tyre size down so total height was similar)? Engineering experts - Adamantium for some simple physics?

I think a 2012 model with 10MY rims would be perfect. The SpecV rims are nice to but I personally hate 99% of these after market rims.

Those ones that were on the juggernaut GTR were

Absolutely the only aftermarket R35 rims I have seen and liked:

2011 with extras. One Owner. Priced to sell.

Us owners of the earlier cars would always avoid this as it does affect the electronics and handling so I would assume it would be the case for the R35...

As long as the rolling circumference is the same. You could run 18s on the front and 20s on the back. You just would have a bigger side wall on the 18's. Not that I would do this.

I'm trying to source some 18s so I can run slicks or r888s, but keep the same rolling circumference. R888 and slicks can be had at reasonable prices in 18's.

R888 in 20's are pricey and slicks not existent

The difference between a 285/45/18 and 285/35/20 is 0.85%

Those are the SpecV rims I was going on about. They are fantastic.
