If my stock wheels are 8.5” wide and 40et, would it actually be pushed out an additional 40mm (1.5” plus 2mm)?
No, the 1.5 is divided by 2 (it’s wider but wider in both inner and outer)

Big fan of your badging strategy. Mine is in black.
Thanks but I’m confused. Isn’t the 64.1mm the center bore? So the center bore of the performance model is 70.1 mm (radius + 3 mm)?Yes. The performance 3 with performance upgrade has an extra 3mm lip from the hub that protrudes past the brake rotor. Instead of the hub being 64.1 mm, it's 70.1 mm. So, you have to account for this when sourcing your wheels.
This.
Divide the additional width in 2 (.75", or 19 mm), and add it to the inner and outer part of wheel. The wheel grows this much in each direction.
Next, if the offset is different, then subtract the new from old (40-38=2 mm). If the number is positive, the wheel shifts outwards by that amount. If negative, the wheel shifts inwards.
In this case, the wheel is 1.5" wider overall with a 2 mm difference in offset.
So, 1.5"÷2= .75" or 19mm
Then 40-38=2mm
Followed by 19+2=21mm
The wheel is 21mm more outward than stock, and 17mm inward.
Or just use this: Offset calculator lol

Well, the actual hub bore is 64.1mm, but the protruding lip requires that you size the wheels to fit a 70.1mm hub.
You might be able to see the larger lip in the picture:

It certainly does work. As you can see here the lip no longer protrudes:I think the alternative to all the above is to get these:
MPP Page Mill P3D+ Front Rotors
MPP Page Mill P3D+ Rear Rotors
I think these should push it out enough to be same as normal Model 3 rotors. That way you don’t have to worry about the lip. Of course it’s the $$$ alternative.
New track shoes are in!
Speedwell RS-1 19x9.5 +35 with 265/35 RE71.
Not hubcentric, so I picked up a set of 72.6-64.1.
Total weight with the tires/TPMS/metal valvestems and balance weights = ~47.5lbs (old digital bathroom scale)
Who do they compare to the signature wheels as far as weight?
They look like BBS wheels. I which they made 18" version. 18x9 or 18x8.5.
Thank you for confirming!It certainly does work. As you can see here the lip no longer protrudes:

I am in Europe waiting for my new model 3.
I intend to use 20x9 ET 35, square setup, so my calculator give me 11 mm more outward than stock. Am I right?
About tyres for this setup I don’t know what are the best dimensions. Do you recommend 245/35 or 255/35? Which of them give more protection for the rims?
Yes, very similar to BBS. I didn't get the chance to weigh these without the tires, but my math has them right around 20lbs. So, as far as I can tell, they might be a little lighter than my Signature SV103, if not the same.
Titan7 makes an 18x8.5 in a similar style as these.
