Potholes, drag racing and daily driving in that order over the 20s. I have another wider set coming from them in a few weeks. If the summer tires on these don’t work out I’ll turn it into a winter setup like yours.
Hey guys, excuse me if this has been talked about. I have a performance 3 on order. I would like to know if I can reuse my 5x114.3 18x9.5 tsw Nurburgring on the car. It has 35” offset. I read something about some possible hub ring issue?
I am in the process of offloading these rims, it would be great if I can reuse. They would be for track use only

I don't know why the hub ring would be an issue but I am interested in learning if there is an issue there. I believe that your rims would fit but I also believe that they don't have sufficient load rating relative to the Tesla guidance. They are rated at 1350 pounds which is roughly 50 pounds below the guided specification.
They will clear the hub if the center bore is over 70.2mm. The bigger issue is likely the rear brake caliper clearance. There are few 18" wheels that clear. Maybe measure the diameter inside the barrel in the hub contact plane. It should be at least ~422mm-423mm in diameter.

I almost purchased a set of TSW Nurburgring wheels from EV Tuning. The size was 18X8 ET35. I contacted EV Tuning and they said it would fit on a Performance Model 3 with the Performance brakes (red calipers) using an adapter ring they supplied. The TSW wheels were not machined to account for the 3 mm lip at the base of the hub on the Performance 3, so the ring was required.
I was told the above information was specific for the TSW Nurburgring wheels sold by EV Tuning. I don't know if they had a set of the Nurburgring wheels made specific for the 3 or not, that was just how their email response to me was worded.
I have the same wheels in liquid silver waiting to be installed in the spring but have not purchased the tires yet, was going to use the same specs that HRE recommends. Would you recommend 255 35 20 on fronts instead? It will be lowered.
Actually I just double checked, your tire size in the front seem to be the right one.

@rideincircles, you were right, thank you for the tip, you saved me $207! At least you will, once the check (hopefully) arrives from Michelin. I've detailed the experience with getting CrossClimate+ tires for my Model 3 LR AWD here, and for the one surface I tested on so far, they are very slightly quieter, which I tried to measure here.

Those look very competitive and cost effective in the fully forged market - somebody finally bringing some competition to Titan7, who also has a lifetime structural warranty, it looks like they include the center caps and black lug nut caps too.
- Each set comes with color matched Martian Wheels center caps and black lug nut caps.
- All Martian Wheels are covered by our Lifetime Structural Warranty.
