Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

[Lindenwood]

May I ask why you increased the compression settings when you raised the car up a little bit? When I was lower the car handled amazing and the dampers felt great. When I raised the car about 15mm it felt loose and I felt didn’t hug the road as well. Does increasing bump help this? Or do I need to increase rebound?

Did you re-align after raising it? I measured 5mm rear toe-out after raising the rear 8-10mm. This is coming from 0/0 f/r toe, and definitely creates a twitch drive (I.e. I would definitely not describe this as “hugging the road” ).

I only increased compression as an additional hedge against the tires hitting the fenders under bump.

Looks sick. What are you dropped on and how much of a drop? The fitment is on point, what are your tire specs and do you run spacers?

Just doing race car photog things at Tesla Corsa 23 with some buddies last weekend. Wide wheels with thick tires just does something for me.

Looks great! How does it look for fitment? I was at 19x9.5 et25 and ended up JUST putting on a 5mm spacer on the rear today so the fitment is more equal between the front and rear.

Without spacers the fitment isn't what I like. Currently have 5mm in the front which is perfect and have a 5mm in the rear but ordered 15mm to match front fitment.

Yah, Et25 front on a 19x9.5 seems perfect at that ride height. Rears definitely need to be in the 20 range.

Great looking wheels! Curious... why a smaller tire (by almost 1/2")?

curious, how can you get around town without scrapping the bottom

Last car was a lot lower, never had any issues driving these shitty Illinois streets, even during winter.
