Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3
- Thread starter kbecks13
- Start date
Just put on my summer wheels. Got a super deal on these Forgestar CF10 wheels/tires that I couldn't pass up. Now my next question is whether or not I should lower it or leave it? I think it looks great the way it is at the moment. This is on my 2018 LR AWD Stealth.

Front: 19x8.5 ET32
Rear: 19x10 ET38
Continental Extreme Contact Sport tires
Front: 235/40/19
Rear: 275/35/19

I’d leave it. Looks great and ur gaps aren’t big. Why mess with a good thing?
I see, so you went with a squared set up? It looks staggered to me, which is what I went with. I'll have 245/35R20 and 285/30R20 installed by next week.
yup. I have a mental aversion to staggered wheels on a AWD car
Do you need to run these spacers at the front and back, or are they only required for the front? This is for a M3P 2021.
Thanks

Check the classified section here. Plenty of people selling their OEM wheels to reference by.
What wheels are you looking to replace your OEM with?

I'm not even sure yet. Right now, I like the 2020 Model 3 19 inch better than the 2021's, but a lot of options out there. I wonder if anyone is getting any sales of their stock 2021 19 inch rims?
You're not going to see an increase in 0-60 times. But that is a good choice in wheels

I'm such a RPF1 fan boy. Also some TE37s in OG Bronze, or some Advan V2's (90's JDM). Big price difference nonetheless.You're not going to see an increase in 0-60 times. But that is a good choice in wheels

Lighter wheels will slightly increase acceleration per some you tubers who tried it. But not massively. I think I saw someone go from 29lbs wheels to 19lbs and they got about .05 sec faster. So a slight improvement, but nothing very noticeable.
Lighter weight particularly rotating mass of the tire wheel assembly decreases acceleration times, never increases. There's no adjustment per se that the system makes to a lighter wheel, it just consumes less of the motor's energy to spin it up and overcome its inertia, leaving more energy for the acceleration of the vehicle. But the difference isn't enormous. A 25 lb to 35 lb reduction in combined wheel and tire weight might shave ~0.5 to max 0.1 seconds off the 0 to 60 time. But that combined with better ride and better handling over rough surfaces is a package of benefits that motivates many people on this forum to purchase lightweight forged wheels despite their cost.
I love the look of those HF-5s. What are the specs of the wheels/tires?
Same here! Just ordered a set of NT03+M for the track...
We actually have a a few set of Model 3 P&P Spec TE37 Ultra M-Spec in OG Bronze coming June/July.
Can help you secure a set if you're interested
