Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3
- Thread starter kbecks13

Thank you. My car is not lowered now but if I ever do lower it, will my fitment completely change? I don’t want to have nice new wheels only for them to be sunk if I ever lower the car. It’s a LR btw and I guess spacers would be the only solution at that point.

He meant that 5 x 4.5 inches is the same as 5 x 114.3 mm
Both of those are the correct bolt pattern and are equal to each other.

The lower you go the more the wheels will tuck in, work our the height you want to be off the ground first and then lower....wheels second...most do it the other way around, don't achieve the look they want, this is why there is a big market for wheel spacers.
Ahhh okay, I wish it was the other war around. I’ve heard some nasty stories of lowering springs without adjustable camber arms and now I’m torn whether or not to lower. Thank you for the help

I have a Performance 3, have lowered the car 1.5” using UPP springs and have driving 12,000km with no alignment (or camber arms) and I have zero adverse tyre wear.Ahhh okay, I wish it was the other war around.

However, if you go wider on the back you may need rear camber arms, they are not expensive and easy to put on…I wouldn’t worry too much about that.
In saying all that I have decided to put on MPP comfort adjustable coil overs (11 days and counting until I have installed), rear camber arms and will keep on my UPP sway bars…I’ll play around with the settings however I’d like a similar height I have now (with rear camber arms so that I can get wider wheels/trues on the rear) but with a much softer ride (not floaty but just a lot more comfortable)….sways kept on a min adjustment to help with lean in corners but not overly aggressive setting so the suspensions independence is not overly effected…..I’ll find out if I’m a hack or spot on soon

No spacers.
I'm running a 275/35/18 tire, so ~1-1.2" smaller tire diameter than OEM. Had to roll front fenders.
I will lower another 1/2" and check alignment when I get air cup kit completed.
Perfect execution of Gemini's. Looks amazing! I always went the OEM+ look on my GTI's.

Thank you! I am heavily into Volkswagens as well and OEM+ has always been my ultimate look and feel. It's exactly what I was going after with this setup.
