Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

Lowered? And did you have to alter any of the suspension? Any rub? Looks good
1st 2 pics should be about 1/2" higher than last 3 pics, which is the difference in height when I jack up car/ work on suspension vs the suspension fully settling.

At that height (which should've been about 1/8-1/4" above the minimum MPP Sports height), I rubbed the back of the front lip and sides going over certain speed bumps that had too much angle/wouldn't allow for perfect entering (which is why I raised it and am working on an air cup kit), and when I had a couple people in the back, I would rub in the rear going over big dips at high speeds. This caused me a few problems when traveling to different cities (i.e., I had to stop at stores and buy duct tape to put hanging underbody panels back in place).Lowered?

Stancewise, height looked perfect to me, I just wanted fronts to be pushed out a little more.
I think the later pics I posted look like a 4x4 (even though it is probably 2" shorter than OEM); but obviously that is my opinion and why I keep adjusting the car
the perfect stance (to me) would have the fenders ~1/2" above the rim edge.Side shot settled attached here. Needs ~1/2 " drop for static/rolling height (imo)

Many thanks for the pictures, and confirmed a little bit too much poke for me i feel.At that height (which should've been about 1/8-1/4" above the minimum MPP Sports height), I rubbed the back of the front lip and sides going over certain speed bumps that had too much angle/wouldn't allow for perfect entering (which is why I raised it and am working on an air cup kit), and when I had a couple people in the back, I would rub in the rear going over big dips at high speeds.

Signature SV301s. 20x9.5 squared with staggered offsets. 255/35 tires. no rub or added camber. @SignatureSales and I went through measuring everything on the car and wheel style so not sharing my offsets….sorry. Hit them up if you want something proper fitting for your specific car setup.

That's a beautiful shot. The more I see of the UP front bumper the more I'm leaning towards just pulling the trigger.
The fitment on the UPP bumper is like a 9.5/10 so don’t worry about that aspect. You will get a lot of people thinking it’s a Porsche bc of the lines
Don’t want to bog down the thread with other non wheels related stuff but feel free to DM me if y’all have questions.
Now back to some killer wheel setups!
Hi Don,
Getting close to pulling the trigger on the KPS. Do you happen to have any shots of your car from the side you could share? I was hoping to see how these look on white from the side without having to try to bleach out more pics of the wheels on a MSM to do it…. They look great IMO here - hopefully as good on white IRL:

Any photos of your rear valence? car looks great!At that height (which should've been about 1/8-1/4" above the minimum MPP Sports height), I rubbed the back of the front lip and sides going over certain speed bumps that had too much angle/wouldn't allow for perfect entering (which is why I raised it and am working on an air cup kit), and when I had a couple people in the back, I would rub in the rear going over big dips at high speeds.

Not the best pics, but hopefully they help

These pics are great - exactly what I was hoping for. Just needed a little lightening up…
Thanks again
Ampliforms? What specs are these? Looks great. I ordered a set but it's still backordered
Sorry for multiple messages. Won't let me delete
