18" Lightweight wheels for M3P??
- Thread starter Halloween81
- Start date
Indeed, it has been test fit, and the fitment is perfect, no issue on clearance.
We also got one satisfied LR RWD customer who runs 19x8.5 ET20 at the front.(lower on Eibach Spring)
Well, consider me interested... Can you send me a price?

Some other options not mentioned so far are VS Forged, HRE, ADV.1, Vossen, Vorsteiner, and Avant Garde to name a few. HRE and ADV.1 wheels may break the bank but they can custom fit and finish a set for you.
I agree with you, it looks like the wheel is poking out in the front. However, it is the angle of the photo that makes it looks like the wheel is poking out past the front fender. The wheel fits perfectly flush to the front fender. With our recommended fitment, our goal is to provide our customers the flushest fitment without rubbing under any circumstances such as hitting the dips.
Enkei wheels are on sale at Evasive Motorsports 20-25% free shipping if anyone is interested.
A set of PF01's is under $1300
, high HP GTRs usually run them with drag radials so they are proven to be strong. Also Apex race parts is about to come out with a line forged wheels. They said they will have Model 3 sizes at affordable prices.
I do love a lot of the signature wheels. Not trying to take away from the OP, but I was drawn here from the title of the thread which didn’t have the vendor in it.
I was pulling my hair out because Titan T-S5 rims sold out in the 18x8.5 size, but then I found a lot of useful information over at model3ownersclub.
Fast Wheels FC04 rims come in many sizes including 18x8 and 18x9 with +30 or +40 offset and clear the performance brakes. Apparently they have the hub step cut out direct from manufacture these days.

I went with 18x8 with 30 offset, which are 19.4lbs each. I heavily considered getting 245/45R18s but went with 235/45R18.
This model is the same model as the following video, but now with those newer updates for performance model 3s according to manufacturer.
They can be bought in North America from canadawheels.ca for $900ish ($650 then YMMV for shipping). You can now find Model 3 TPMS on Amazon for around $130 shipped.
People run 245/45R18 (M30C mod’s setup - Garsh’s “Yolandi”), 255/40/18 (Manufacturer’s setup - Mad Hungarian) and most commonly 235/45R18 on these (stock and now come with acoustic foam on the 4Ss from tirerack.com)

Amazon TPMS, not sure if work. A TMC user helped me get TPMS so I went through him and paid a little more than this amazon listing:

A user messaged me about rims that look almost identical, if not identical, for 2800. PM me if you want the reference. Retail was apparently 4500.

If you could do it again, would you still go with 235/45 or would you switch to 245/45? I'm currently deciding between the 2! Same set up as you.. Fast FC04 18x8 +40 (only option on aftermarketev.com), 2018 M3P with red brakes. Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated! Thanks
