Not all wheels of the same size have the same inside barrel size. For example, the stock 18" aero wheels that ship on the non-performance versions of the Model 3 cannot fit over the larger brakes of the Model 3 Performance, however some aftermarket 18" wheels can.
No concern here. We are the first one to test out the upcoming track spec setup (mathcing the same spec). In the Tesla catalog they use 285/35/20 & 305/30/20.
The issue could be with their 19 inch wheels and not Tesla wheels. I went out and looked at the radial clearance on my Plaid between teh brake caliper and the wheel. It was eyeballing it 1 1/4 inches. So as long as 1/4 inch of radial clearance is ok the 19 inch rims would fit. I am like the pig in a ham and egg breakfast (the chicken was involved but the pig was committed) I have my wheels and tires on the way so I am committed. None too soon look at my post above on summer tires and cold weather .
I enjoyed your attached video clip. IF you back calculate the effective H P of the Plaid based on ET and weight you will come up with mid 1200 hp and on mph mid 1300 hp. The clip substantiates the effective HP of the plaid
there is a pic of my 19" T-sportlines on my plaid... they fit, just too skinny (19X8.5")
I’m going to guess the 30% profile tire has just slightly quicker acceleration than 35%.
You’ll want an exact match. Or at least , I would. Should have the “TO” marking for “acoustic foam” to reduce road noise. See attached image.
You’re welcome. FYI that image came from my plaid although it has 19 inch wheels.
I just put 4 Pilot 4S on without foam. Howls pretty bad.
I think the issue is the width on the front tires needs to be less than 285. Not confirmed but that is what I have gathered from what other users are saying. I get bad howl on my Michelin all Seasons with 285 on the front.
