Hi All!
I hope all is well during these crazy times.
I have a 2019 model S Long Range and just installed 21" HRE FF04 running Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 255/32/21 in the front and 275/35/21 in the rear. HRE only has 1 spec for 21's for this wheel and I was told I wouldn't encounter any rubbing issues.
Given Tesla's superb quality control, of course I'm encountering rubbing on the driver side front wheel well. I have read other threads about this ranging from needing a new alignment to taking a heat gun to the wheel liner to the front end bumper and grill sagging which is causing the rub. Strangely, I only encounter this on the driver side as the passenger side has a clearance.
I also learned that when Tesla does a wheel alignment, they also take a look at the air suspension to ensure that is aligned as well. Anyone have any insight on this? Would this take care of my issue?
With folks with history and experience in this, I would love to hear any insight or feedback that you could provide.
This would be greatly apprecaited.
Be Well and Stay Safe!
