R35 GT-R Wheel Alignment After New Wheels and Tyres
Why align after the upgrade
This R35 came in for wheels, tyres and four-wheel alignment. Alignment checks toe, camber where adjustable, thrust direction and steering-wheel position against the workshop's chosen specification and the vehicle's condition. It helps protect the new 285/35R20 and 345/30R20 tyres from avoidable uneven wear.
The supplied job information does not include before-and-after readings, so no measurement claims are made here. The practical point is that changing wheels and tyres is a sensible time to inspect geometry, especially when the old tyres show abnormal wear or the steering wheel is off-centre.
Alignment is not a repair for everything
A printout cannot solve worn bushes, bent arms, damaged wheels, incorrect tyre pressure or rubbing. Those faults need diagnosis. On a staggered high-performance car, the technician should interpret readings alongside tyre wear, suspension condition and intended road use rather than chase numbers without context.

Quick answer
Should an R35 GT-R be aligned after new wheels and tyres?

Frequently asked questions
Is this package guaranteed for every R35 GT-R?
No. Year, suspension, brakes, ride height and modifications can change fitment. Check the individual car.
Can these staggered tyres be rotated front-to-rear?
No, because the front and rear sizes differ. Other rotation options depend on tyre direction and wheel configuration.
Why check alignment with new tyres?
Incorrect toe or other geometry issues can cause uneven wear and poor steering behaviour. Alignment cannot repair worn or damaged parts.
