    HW3

    I'd love to say I have insider info on that, but I was indeed only quoting Elon's tweet on the matter.

    Wider tires on stock 20" rim

    My bad, sorry about that... yes, 245/35R20.

    Wider tires on stock 20" rim

    245/45R20 will work fine on the OE wheels and is only 1.1% larger in overall diameter, so at 60 mph your speedo will only be off by about 0.6 mph. Note that the difference in O.D. from when your tire is new compared to when it is worn to the wear bars is on average about 2.0%, so this isn't a...

    Locking wheel nuts

    Compared to all the OE and aftermarket nuts I've worked with I'd say it isn't so much that the Gorilla has an unusually small seating area so much as it Tesla's that are on the large side. Nothing wrong with that, obviously Tesla likes a lot of seat engagement for whatever reason. But just for...

    Replika R187 wheels causing issues..

    Not yet, should have later this summer. Anyone else with general questions please PM me, I really don't want to break forum rules about discussing products publicly (unless there are technical concerns like this thread).

    Replika R187 wheels causing issues..

    That sounds like the normal behaviour when reversing, as the toe-in alignment that normally makes your front wheels "stable" and want to seek to center themselves travelling forward actually works the other way when reversing and tends to make the steering want to continue turning, especially...

    Replika R187 wheels causing issues..

    Hello all, so sorry I didn't catch this thread sooner, and I hope the Mods won't mind me chiming in to help resolve this, as I work for the parent company Fastco. We only started received sporadic reports of this issue mid-winter and it took us a little time to isolate it. It appears that at...

    Winter Tires and Rims - Canadian Availability

    Good stuff, looks like your OE nuts will work. As for caliper clearance, highly unlikely that the diameter will cause an issue as just about any 18" wheel will clear. It's what we refer to as X-factor, that is the horizontal protrusion of the caliper towards the spoke area of the wheel, that you...

    Winter Tires and Rims - Canadian Availability

    Two things I'd want to check to be sure before proceeding with those: 1. Is the lug seat conical (straight taper) or ball (rounded)? Very often steel or alloy wheels with a 5x114.3 pattern and a 64.1 mm center bore are designed specifically for Honda and Acura applications, which all have ball...

    Winter Tires and Rims - Canadian Availability

    Correct. But we're going to make a Model 3 version of the Model S Turbine in 18" with the 5x114.3 pattern, will be available this fall.

    Winter Tires and Rims - Canadian Availability

    Absolutely, if you go to our website you can now look up all available wheels directly for Model 3 and even see what they look like on the car with our iConfiguator app.

    Would 20x9 front and 20x10.5 rear wheels fit Model 3?

    These specs are fine, as long as the manufacturer can confirm the design in question fits over the brake calipers. Note that you will need centering rings to bring the center bore size down to 64.1.

They originally had confirmed a nice venue in the Old Montreal district but road closures due to the Formula E event are going to make it tough to reach so they are working...
