I have a set of 19x9.5s on the way with 265/35. Better fit!

I have a set of 18x9.5 with the tires already on it, hoping it would fit so I don't have to buy more new stuff

245/35/19? Shouldn't it be 245/40/19, as that's closer to stock diameter/specs?

35 profile should be 265/35/19 iirc

 

[Stirthepot]

235/40/19 is stock

245/35-R19 tires are 0.65 inches (16.5 mm) smaller in diameter than 235/40-R19 tires and the speedometer difference is 2.5%

For use during summer I also bought some new wheels for my Model 3, the original 18" wheels are now used as my winter set. I wanted to go for something different than the T-Sportlines that most seem to use so that my Model 3 at least still looks a little bit special among all the many others here in the Netherlands. Had to decide between 18 and 19 inch, eventually ended up going for 18 inch. Wheels cheaper, tires are always cheaper as well and more comfort. Maybe 19 inch will look a little bit better but if that's the only advantage.

I went with the Rosenstein Delta 18" 8.5J in matte bronze, had them shipped from the USA, just like the Tesla itself. I've always really liked blue with bronze, especially because of the Subaru WRX STI that was my favorite car before. So now with my blue Model 3 I just couldn't resist going with bronze.

Now I really wanted to have some nice pictures with the wheels actually on the car but the bad weather here lately doesn't really help. On my day offs it's always been raining, can't even wash my car so no pretty pictures just yet. I do have some pictures of just the wheels without tires to see if they would actually fit. And they do just fine, I think they might even fit on a Model 3 Performance, still a lot of clearance between the brake calipers and the wheels.

Few days ago I had the tires fitted. They're just the standard 235/45 R18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires. Made some quick photos of this as well. But like I said, I couldn't really wash the car anymore so these are no pretty pictures.

Before these wheels will actually go on there will still be a few modifications, I will show these soon. Will have to wait till the weather gets better anyway, then I can finally make some good pictures of the wheels actually on the car.

Those look really nice. How much do the wheels weigh?

They're 21 lbs according to specs on their website, so just a little bit less than Tesla's 18 inch without the Aero covers. They're flow formed wheels.

Nice Subaru.

Those wheels look great on your car. How long did it take for you to receive your wheels after you ordered? I’m thinking about ordering those wheels too.

Nice Subaru.

Thank you! Just need a really big rear wing and some mud flaps now and go rally driving with it. That would really complete the Subaru look.


/s so no one thinks I'm actually doing this

Hey there, just wondering what suspension setup you are using.

Thanks!

I don't think this is a Stealth any longer... those are going to look crazy awesome, is your car blue? .. I run on A/S 3+'s too...

Are you going to paint the brake calipers? or do a BBK? You will still be ahead of the price delta building your own PD+.

Make sure you post pictures, I haven't seen this Titan 7 combo on a 3 yet and super curious about the look and even more about your handling going from (I assume) stock 18's" to 20's" staggered on the Model 3 - Tesla should sell it with these stock!
