Is that with or without performance brakes and their thinner rotor hat (which gives you a more inset wheel)? You could probably do 35 with the performance brakes but perhaps one of the track guys (many are running 19x9.5) can confirm.

I think the confusion is due to performance vs non-performance brakes. I have tried my prior wheels (via adapter) to the effective 19x9 +32 (255-wide tire) and I think it sticks out when looked at from the front (on performance rotor). I'm pretty sure the 9.5-wide +35 offset wheel would be worse (by ~3mm)
Could you please post a view from the front looking down on the tire? I bet it sticks out a few mm.

Just got my new wheels/tires. I plan on doing a ceramic coat (geyon rim). Do I need to do much prep besides an ipa first? I’ve done my car before but obviously the car had seen “life” before and got the works. Not sure if needed for a perfectly new rim.
Plan was carpro eraser all over and then the rim coating

I have 245/35/20 and 285/30/20 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S non-acoustics and the energy usage is about 330 Wh/mile. These are on my VS Forged wheels.
I also have a set of square 20x9 Signature wheels with 255/35/20 Yokohama Advan V105S and get the same energy usage on daily driving at 330 Wh/mile.
Compared to the stock 20” Tesla Performance wheels and Michelins, I was getting about 310 Wh/mile with a similar driving style.
Nice, thanks for the comparison. Thinking about picking up a set of HRE FF and not sure which tire size to go with.
I know mine are different width wheels. But just wanted to add another data point. My VS forged are 20x8.5 +28 20x10 +35 with 235/35 275/30 tesla spec ps4s tires. Just did an 1800 mile road trip. I ended up my trip 20 wh/mile better than what abetterroutplanner said I should be averaging with stock 20’s. I didn’t run my stock setup very long...so abrp is my only reference for sustained speeds at 80mph.

What a great looking setup.
I have a white LR M3 and am going with these wheels as well, but with the brushed bronze finish. Trying to decide on which springs to go with...been leaning toward the TSportline 1”.
This tire only came out in late March, 2019, but is anybody eyeballing the Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack? If it lives up to it's billing, it meats my needs for quiet and smooth ride. The only problem is that so far it doesn't appear that Bridgestone is making the size for the Model 3. Boooooooo!!!!!

Ah gotcha. HRE recommended that I run 255/30/20 front and 275/30/20 rear on their 20x9.5 and 20x10.5 M3 setup. Just ordered coilovers from unplugged which I will run more or less their low spring height. Wonder how greatly that would affect the range, but your setup gives me a great general idea more or less. thanks!
I like your setup and was actually looking at AG wheels and lowering the car. If you don't mind, a few questions?
I see you say you have Unplugged "milds". However, on UP's web site for the M3 Performance/PUP I only see the "UP Super Performance" option to select. Did you get springs for a non-Performance and use them? I'm a bit confused because I want to lower my M3P but I don't want to make the ride a lot stiffer (nor do I want the rear end to optically look lower than the front). Your setup looks about right to me.
As for the AG wheels, I'm assuming they bored out the part to accommodate the rotors on the M3P? Also, how does the offset look from the front/back, ie how flush are they to the sides?
Thanks for your help! Your car looks great.

How was the fit of the T Sportline Executive Carbon fiber sport wing ? Does it conform to the rear trunk lid without gaps at the ends ?
