245 Pilot 4s on OEM aero wheels

Tire Rack says that 265 40 18 will fit the rear, but not the front. So you would have to go "Staggared"

they'll fit front and back according to the guy who actually put them on his Model 3 (and the place that sold him his wheels on here)

That would be great news. I'd like to hear from someone that has done it on stock rims/offset.

Get Your Wheels Aftermarket Wheels

Check out post #260

That's a Model 3 with 18x9.5 wheels +38 offset, running 265/40-18s on all 4 corners with no rubbing.

So I can't imagine narrower rims would cause a problem.

The thing is- 245 and 255 will give you an incorrect speedometer due to being slightly different diameter than stock.. 265-40 however is exactly the same diameter as the stock 235-45 tire

Supposedly the Model 3 uses a GPS calibrated speedometer so if you change tires, it will learn that inaccuracy difference and meant adjustments overtime.

Do you know if that's official anywhere (or even semi-official from someone like ingineerex who hacked into the car) or just a thing some folks have heard?

Larger Diameter Tires?
