20" Model X Slipstream Wheels on Model S

[bradmobile]

Mike-415, thank you for posting this informative thread! For the same reasons as you, I opted for the 20"s from a MX. It's a decent compromise between the style of the 21"s and the practicality of the 19"s while maintaining the OEM appearance.

what tire size did you go with?

 

[Tdub621]

I went with 245/40 and 275/35.

What’s up Tdub621, I’m looking to jump in the MX 20l train and wanted to know how the experience has been with you?

I'm also curious how this would work on coils.

Also, will Tesla install these (or any other aftermarket wheels like Tsportline)? Or do you have to go to some other shop?

 

[Tdub621]

My experience so far with the MX 20s has been a positive one. Similar ride comfort, range, to the 19s but the 20s just appear to fit so much better.

I wanted a factory look, sticky rubber, and the freedom to drive without the fear of imminent pothole related wheel damage. The 20" Model X Slipstreams fit perfectly and only a Tesla aficionado would ever know they aren't a stock fitment.

Wheels are 20x9 ET 35MM and 20x9.5 ET 40MM. Tires are 245/40 and 285/35 Michelin Pilot Super Sport. No rubbing (except the fronts in reverse at certain angles, like the OEM 21s), no issues.

Mike, thanks for the post. It’s beenover a year now, are you still happy with the wheels? Also, would you happen to have a picture of the wheels from the rear of the car? I’d love to see how the offset differs.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I looked on eBay and found a ton of OEM rims for sale. I’m going to order some up and throw the Super Sports in them.

Do you have a picture of the car from behind with a low angle. I bet these things make the MS look like a Monster!

Thanks again,

Latorre

Rather terrible photos but it's all that i have access to atm.

Has anyone gone from the 19" base wheels to the slipsteams 20" and notice a difference in range?

in these pictures do you have the air active suspension set to the lowest setting?

 

[Latorre]

What’s up @mike-415

I saw you swapped these wheels of the MS, was there a mechanical reason for that or just asthetics. Also, did this set-up inter fear with the air suspension.

Thanks!

I went with 245/40 and 275/35.

Do these rub at all? I would think they wouldn't, based on what i'm reading and because they are the same size in front as the tsportline setup), but OP was having issues. Also, do you have air suspension? Thanks!

21s vs 19s on the S only have a 5% lower range so I would imagine 20s would be less than that.

 

[Tdub621]

I haven't experienced any rubbing with air suspension.

 

[barcagp]

I was thinking of using 245/40 and 275/40.

Thinking of going this size for my tire. Any issues ?
Also what tire would be best for all season?

 

[barcagp]

Also do all the model X have a staggered set up?
If all 4 wheels were the same do the tires still have to be a different size on the back and front?

 

[Slavas]

Has anyone put on the rear wheels slipstream 20/10 ’’ offset 35, 285/40?
This is the size that t-sportline offers.

I had a negative experience of driving on wheels of different widths on a Jaguar XJ car in Moscow, where in the spring many roads have a track after the studded wheels that many people use. A car with different wheel widths is very poorly controlled on such roads. Therefore, I plan to buy all four wheels in the amount of 20/9, although of course the rear slipstream wheels of the 20/10 look great on model S.
Does anyone have all the slipstream wheels 20/9? What are your impressions and can show photos of the rear wheels?

 

[Triumphz28]

Looks great!!!

 

[Ray456]

I have the option to by a MX slipstream rim set in 20 inch, but 9J front ET35 and 10j back ET35, presume this would be too wide for the Model S? If possible what tires would I go for? 245/40 front and 285/35 back?
