Even though the GT-R already has 20s from the factory, it seems some people think bigger is definitely better. iForged showcased their 22in lineup on the Nissan GT-R recently.

A hotly debated item all over the internet right now is due to some misinformation and quotes taken out of context. To lay the smack down and correct all the internet bickering going on here is the actual quote. For the bone heads, the important information is in underlined and in bold, so you can’t miss it.

“Mizuno claimed a time of 7minutes 38 seconds, compared with 7:43 for a Porsche 911 GT3 and 7:32 for a Carrera GT, but he was anxious to point out that there had been “two wet patches on the circuit.” Indeed, he mentioned the “wet patches” so many times that you wondered why Nissan simply hadn’t waited for a dry day. Mizuno reckoned that a time of around 7:30 should have been possible in the dry, but that going much faster would have required hand-cut slicks, which isn’t “real world.” Bizarrely, Nissan admitted to having different test drivers for different lapping. While Chief Test Driver Toshio Suzuki operates in the 7:30-7:40 range, his right-hand man is a 7:40-7:50 man.”

The fact remains, the Nissan GT-R scored a 7:38 lap time on the Nurburgring using the tires it will come standard with in production trim. Gotta love the underhanded jab of the “wet patches on the circuit”. Simply impressive.
