I think they'd look pretty good on a MX, kind of how 20s look on the MS. Are there any obstacles doing this?
Excellent! Thanks for exploring for us!I actually attempted to mount 21x9 Model S rear wheels with with 265 45 21 tires onto my X (as a square non staggered set up). Unfortunately, since the 265 45 21 is close to an inch taller than the stock 20"/22" size, it would not work in the front. I am trying to get my hands on a pair of 265 40 21's to test fit again on my X...and as soon as I do, I will post the results of my experiment

Finally got around to test fitting the 21x9" Model S wheels using 265/40/21 tires and they worked! No rubbing...and ride is much better than the 22's. Another advantage is that they are non staggered so tire rotations are possible. For curious minds like mine, hope this helps...

Wow! That is the perfect look, the sidewall doesn't look stretched out and too thin like w/22s and the wheel doesn't look dwarfed like w/the 20s.

Why would that be? Does the 22inch OEM Tesla wheels have a different width or offset compared to the 9inch wide OEM 21s?Excellent! Looks great!
Although those rears look a bit tucked. I wonder if some spacers would help push them out just a bit.
Thanks for sharing!
Yes. Both the OEM 22's and the 20's are 9" wide in the front and 10" wide in the rear. Which is why I suggested finding a staggered set up.Why would that be? Does the 22inch OEM Tesla wheels have a different width or offset compared to the 9inch wide OEM 21s?
Here are some answers to the questions posted thus far:
Tires are Continental 5P’s and I have only had them on the car for about 30 miles so I do not have wh/mi comparison yet. I do agree that rear spacers would help out the look a bit. As for the 8.5 vs 9” wheel, I used four 9” wheels (rear size for the staggered P85+ cars) for my test. I did not look into the weight limitations though I probably should.
And @ Diavel, please PM me and maybe we can meet up so you can see the set up in person....
Ah yes, and I looked up the 22s have 35 offset compared to the 21s 40 which maybe has a tiny tiny effect on the look. What would be a good spacer to make it look like as flush as the 22in OEM? 15mm? I'd be scared to use a spacer with a car of this weight, or has that been debunked.Yes. Both the OEM 22's and the 20's are 9" wide in the front and 10" wide in the rear.

It could also be that the angle, and lighting of the photo is making the rears look even more tucked.
