2014 Nissan GT-R Black Edition on WELD Laguna 18x10 Front and 17x10 Rear Wheels
The 2014 Nissan GT-R Black Edition is one of the most recognizable performance cars of its generation. With all-wheel-drive traction, serious power potential, and an aggressive factory appearance, the R35 GT-R is a platform that looks right at home with a proper drag wheel and tire setup.
Our customer Javier, known on Instagram as @R35_Javi, has his 2014 Nissan GT-R Black Edition running a WELD Laguna Drag setup in gloss black with milled spokes. His setup features 18x10 front wheels and 17x10 rear wheels, with the rear paired to Mickey Thompson P305/45R17 ET Street R tires.

Why Choose the WELD Laguna Drag for a Nissan GT-R?

- Rear Drag Tire Package – The 17x10 rear wheel paired with the Mickey Thompson 305/45R17 ET Street R gives the GT-R a serious rear tire setup.
- Gloss Black with Milled Spokes – The Laguna Drag design in gloss black with milled spokes works extremely well with the aggressive styling of the GT-R Black Edition.
- Real-World Fitment Details – Javier’s setup required Titanium Work low-profile caliper bolts, making this a helpful real customer example for other R35 owners.

A Clean Drag Setup for the R35 GT-R
The R35 GT-R has always had a reputation for putting power down extremely well, but wheel and tire selection still plays a major role in how the car performs and looks. Javier’s setup gives the car a more aggressive drag-focused appearance while keeping the overall look clean and refined.
The 18x10 WELD Laguna Drag front wheels keep the front of the car looking wide and balanced. Out back, the 17x10 WELD Laguna Drag rear wheels allow for the Mickey Thompson P305/45R17 ET Street R tire, creating a much more purposeful rear setup.
The gloss black finish with milled spokes also pairs perfectly with the Black Edition styling. It gives the car a sharp, high-performance look without taking away from the factory body lines.
Because this setup required Titanium Work low-profile caliper bolts, it is also a great reminder that modified performance cars can require small supporting details to make everything fit correctly. Brake clearance, hardware, suspension, and tire sizing should always be considered when putting together a drag wheel setup for an R35 GT-R.
