Staggered is fine for drag racing and rwd but introduces more understeer, something you certainly don’t want on a well balanced AWD car

That's a narrow rim for a 245 tire. Look at the recommend rim width range for the tire. A wider rim will handle better.Or option #2 19X8 +35 wheels with 245/40/19 tire size in a squared setup which seems to be less variation from OEM than above.
Thoughts? Narrower wheel and tire in 19" equal a few pounds of savings and still an increased contact patch from the 245's.
We have heard from an owner in Maui who says that his 18x9.5 +38 with 265/40/18 ps4s tires clear without any rubbing issuesHello, does anybody know for sure whether 255/40/19 Nokian WR mounted on 19X8.5 would be stable and have no rubbing issues with the fender on the front on Model 3 Performance? I cannot find any 235/40/19 or 245/40/19 here in USA online. I know the back is not an issue but would there be any issues on the front. Also would 19X9 be the better wheel choice and if so would there be any issues with the front fender rub. 19X9 square set up would be nice if it works but not a lot of choices as 19X8.5 on aftermarket wheels.
Funny you mention that, I did not think to check with the stock tires but after the 255's were mounted I check with a speedo app on my iphone and it is dead on at up to 80mph, never checked over that speed, yet!255 tires with same aspect ratio as stock should make speedometer extremely accurate regardless of wheel diameter.
I'm considering changed the rubber on the 19" sport to an all-weather rather than get a separate winter tire. I don't like the swap idea.
can i fit a 255/40R19 on the 19" sport oem rims?
Now, is it smart to just change rubber on one set of rims or have a second set of rims and rubber?
No one tire is the best at everything- so especially living in a place with real winters it's smarter to have two sets of wheels- legit winter tires on one, and legit summer tires on the other.
I'm getting the Apex 18X9.5 EC-7 wheels and planning on 265/40 P4S and both Apex and MPP said clearance would be no problem with stock or with the MPP upper arms which I also purchased.I was hoping to swap 265/40-18s onto the stock aeros since they'd match stock diameter (and your comment on the guy with 265 19s suggests this won't have rubbing issues either on the stock 8.5 wide 18s)
Just curious if you know how to quantify range hit difference with wider tires?
Well, if you look it up in Tire Rack specs, for the P4S the section widths are 9.3", 10.2" and 10.7" for the 235/45, 255/40 and 265/40 (all 18"), respectively. By that measure, evet the 235 sticks out a wee bit (.4") at maximum width.I hate that the 18" rims protrude beyond the tire.... I really like the idea of 265/40R18 which is the exact same diameter. I just need someone else to do it first! while I suspect it will work fine, there's always a question of liability in an accident too.
Anyone know if 255s would still extend beyond the rim?
Does Tesla calibrate speedo in any way?
What tire size, and wheel set is that?
