R32 GT-R Spare Wheel and Tire

The lowly spare tire. An R32,R33, and R34 GT-R has a space saver spare located in the trunk. The OEM spare will clear OEM brakes, but if you have aftermarket brakes, you should take some time to see if the spare will work. Check out your spare tire air pressure. Also, its probably time you replaced that tire. Even though its probably never been used, its aged out by now.

R32 Vspec

This part number for the wheel is used by most rwd Nissan/Infiniti, but the tire is a different size.Most look like they are 145/80/17 which will be too tall to fit in an R32 rear spare wheelwell.

R32 GT-R Vspec spare tire 145/70/17 also notice the height of the foam in the trunk to bring the floor up slightly to match the tire.
