    M3P hesitates with new rims in 1/4 mile run

    Maybe. Multiple issues: 1) Wheels are drilled for 12mm diameter studs. Tesla is 14mm. Oversizing them wouldn't be a huge deal, since the cone profile for the lugnuts would be unaltered and they would still center themselves. 2) While I can't be certain (without drilling out the lug holes)...

    M3P hesitates with new rims in 1/4 mile run

    That's somewhat surprising and too bad. It turns out the 18x9" wheels I had from another car won't fit without pretty wide spacers and I wouldn't feel comfortable going that route without longer wheel studs. So, the smaller tire experiment for this weekend is nixxed. :(

    M3P hesitates with new rims in 1/4 mile run

    Good to know! The local venue is pretty tight so the course speeds are kept down... Were you in track mode when it tripped?

    M3P hesitates with new rims in 1/4 mile run

    M3P hesitates with new rims in 1/4 mile run

    I know you're kidding. Batman was driving that black and yellow Panamera! Sure, 5.7% is a lot. If the 18" aero wheels (and assuming 235/45r18 tires) are selected in the wheel configuration menu, that gets ya down to about 5% which is sadly still significant. I'm just not sure if the...

    M3P hesitates with new rims in 1/4 mile run

    Hey Danny, I didn't expect to find you in this thread after talking about it yesterday! Has anyone experienced this TCS issue at speeds below 70mph and/or in track mode? I have a 2021 M3P and some 255/35r18 autocross tires (from another car) that I could have mounted, but won't bother if...
