Hi!
I'm new to TMC and a new Tesla owner (taking delivery of an Ultra Red MSLR this weekend!). After doing research I ended up ordering 19" Tempest wheels even though I like the look of the Arachnids much better. From what I can tell, the aftermarket wheels that look most similar to the Arachnids are the TSS wheels on Tsportline.
I'm a car noob so this may be a dumb question, but it seems like the 20" TSS wheels will definitely not fit the OEM tires, and the 19" TSS wheels... might fit? I recognize even if it would fit, it'd be square wheels on a staggered tire setup. Not sure how that affects aesthetics/performance/handling/range. My goal is to get cool looking wheels (not above 20" though) without having to buy new tires if possible. I know Arachnid-like wheel covers are an option, but it seems like those are much more available for Model 3/Y, and for Model S it's really just these Tesmanian wheel covers that I don't hate but I also don't love.
Hoping for insight into whether I could get TSS wheels while keeping the same tires, and if not, any tips/recommendations for other aftermarket 19" wheels that are the same size as the Tempests (ex. the staggered Tsportline TSRs).
Thank you in advance!
