9.5" wheel size for front Model x 20

[ChapterBook7]

Hey guys,

Can I install a 9.5" oem wheel on the front if I have the 265 tire?

I bought a set of 20" oem slipstream wheels for my Model X. Turned out three of the wheels are 9.5" and one is 9" wide.

I have the correct size tires 265 for the front and 275 for the rear.

Looking for everyone's feedback.

Cheers

Not without a spacer, the 9.5" slipstream sits extremely close to and/or touches the upright depending on tolerances. With a spacer, yes, but why would you when a replacement correct-sized front wheel is ~$250 on Ebay, shipping included?

Can confirm, it will rub, do not do it.

P.s. anyone selling one 20"x9" slipstream wheel? (asking for a friend)
