Yeah, weird..... mine don't have that rounded end at all and he did say 24' LR mines a 23' LR, not sure whey they would add length to the studs considering the wheel specs haven't changed. Only way to know is bust out the ruler and see how much would be exposed after the 15-25mm spacer added.
So here we are again… now running spacers on my 2023 Model X LR w/ new aftermarket Martian MW05 wheels.

They are Model S specd, 20x9.5” +40 and 20x10.5” +40 so I added spacers to get them nice and flush along with my N2ITIVE lowering links.
Tried 15mm front and 20mm rear but poked a bit too much in the rear (that’s what she said) so went 15mm all around.
Perfect IMO with reusing the OEM 265/45/20 & 275/45/20 tires.

The comparable spec wheels WITHOUT using spacers would be 20x9.5 +25 & 20x10.5 +25, but I got these 50% off so I’m happy either way. Taken them up to 125+ mph, smooth and confident.
Correct.... Since these are Model S spec wheels they actually DO bring the rear out +5mm more than the OEM 19" or 21" to be more flush than OEM.
+40 Martian Front/Rear vs. +40 OEM Front / +45 OEM Rear
18mm is huge IMO, they'll really be sunken... I was looking originally to do 9.5" square but could never find a design I wanted in that size or a price I was willing to pay for custom.

How about an 8000lbs+ vehicle?
UP's engineers must have been missing your advance knowledge....theirs are over 1" as well, most on S/X are 15-20mm.
As long as they are hub-centric and quality hardware (6065 or better) they are likely stronger than the OEM Tesla hardware....this aint 1990's tuner slip-on Chinese junk parts.

What kind of “racing” you doing in a MXP anyways and why? The X is a 5200lb+ Crossover/ SUV .Sure. The problem is not the spacers. The problem is the suspension. The MXP suspension is identical to the MX one… but there are 500 more hp to handle. Have you tossed around the MXP at speeds? I have. That suspension is barely up to its task as it is. It is undersprung, under dampened and generally quite coarse under load. Providing more leverage to load it up in turns is not something I am comfortable with. It is at its mechanical limits as it is.YMMV.
Just my 25+ years of racing experience. You do you and I will do me
Looks great! Flush and even wheel gaps, front and rear.
It would be ill advised for the non- racer to take a MXP to a race track. Yes. The suv is not made for that by a long shot. That is not the point. The point is that at the track a skilled driver can push a car and determine where are its limits. My observation is that the limits of the MXP suspension are very close to the daily duties. The suspension is overworked as it is. Introducing additional loads by lengthening essentially the lower control arms with spacers at least in my book is a dangerous proposition. There is a reason why the MXP is undertired from the factory and the wheels are tucked in. That is all. Carry onWhat kind of “racing” you doing in a MXP anyways and why? The X is a 5200lb+ Crossover/ SUV .
FYI Plaid is only 370hp more than the base LR at 650hp anyways.
It’s a beast on a straight track 1/8 or 1/4 mile, but can’t imagine using it for anything else. Not even Tesla makes any track claims with it…. Model S would be the better vehicle for that job with much more aftermarket performance support as well.
So considering 99% of us that run spacers for street purposes (or occasional drag strip runs) just for the flush cosmetic fitment and slightly wider track there should be zero concerns with quality spacers which was your original claim.
That stance is perfect. Is that low or very low? Also, what are your link settings? Thanks.
