I want to see what these look like, thinking about going 19x9.5 with a 35mm offset

So it seems only TSportline's offer an 18" with 35mm offset that fit the BBK of the P3D+ and maybe a few on American Tire Depot. I'm intent on running stock 18" Tesla MXM4 tires due to the acoustic foam, so been trying to find an optimal wheel for that configuration.

So the offset they have is +39mm on the 18x8.5 T-S5. Is there anyway to specify 35mm? What's the reasoning for a lower offset on the P3D+?
You can use the below website to see what will fit and how changes of width and offset can have effect on your fitment.

I have attached two picture of how close my wheel is to the front suspension.

It would help if we knew the size of the wheel and offset for those pictures. Are those stock 20"s?

That changes things. Then that's super good news since your setup is very aggressive for interior clearance. Was thinking of getting 19x9.5 +35. I should have more clearance since the rim will be higher from the center point where the angle provides more space. Plus I have 3 more mm to work with on the P3D-.

Could you please take some pictures of that wheel since I will be getting a similar size and want to see how it looks. One picture from the side so I can see overall wheel gap and one from the front/rear to see wheel poke. I would greatly appreciate it.
Wheels are not on right now but this is what I have from before. Wheel gap won't change much since overall diameter is the same. 19x9.5 +35mm will not have clearance issue from the inside, but it will have a slight poke unless your car is lowered.

So the wheels in these pictures are not the: 265/40 18 on 18x9.5 +35
What are these?
Still would like to see what (265/40 18 on 18x9.5 +35) will look like.
they are 265/40/18 on 18x9.5 +35
However, 265 is entirely too wide for daily and your range will suffer a lot especially if you use high performance summer tires.

Thanks for the pics. How much would you say will the range suffer with 265's all around with all seasons tires?
honestly I don't have enough data to say for sure. I just noticed that I was getting around 370wh/mi when going 75mph for about 10 miles with these extreme summer tires.
another thing to consider is actual tread width.
235/45/18 MXM4 tread width: 7.8"
255/35/18 MXM4 tread width: 9.6"
265/40/18 ADVAN SPORT A/S tread width: 8.7"
As you can see it all depends on the tire for the actual tread width that you get. And this tread width will also play a factor when it comes to rolling resistance. If you get a very efficient 265/40/18, my guess your range hit will be around 8~10% compare to stock 18"
I think a good compromise for look and range is 9 inch wheel +35 offset with 245 wide tires. Overall diameter is only 0.77% larger than OEM 20" and you get 11.4mm more poke so the stance is more flush with fender.

That's 211 miles 100% charge range, or 170 miles at 80%. For 30-80% that's 105 miles. Compared to 160 miles 30-80% on a LR RWD+ Aero.
pretty much, but these tires are almost slick tires and has a 10 inch tread width so the number are expected really, doesn't help that the pressure is only around 37 psi at the time. You won't ever see this kind of situation on a daily setup.
What I really want in a wheel is basically a replica of the 19 inch slipstream with less weight and can fit Model 3. Those wheels are extremely aero efficient and doesn't look bad.

I already only get 160 miles per full battery on 18s stock with no Aero covers because of the way I drive (480wh/mi average). The rolling resistance would probably not matter much in my case then, right? So might as well go all out with 265s.
Sure, that's a personal choice. Although I would check underneath the car to see how many trash bags you're dragging

There's only two reasons in my head as to why you're getting 480 wh/mi.
- You're driving REALLLY fast. In that case, air resistance is the primary cause of the energy consumption so tire/rolling resistance is a much smaller factor in the overall energy consumption. Tires would help but not as much as simply slowing down.
- You're using the physical brakes way too much. Your driving habits should change and rely more on release the accelerator to slow down than hitting the brakes. You're essentially driving like you're tracking the car (where an increased regen could also help at higher speeds). Regenerative braking is better than physical brakes in every way except that its limited to 0.2g. So you should maximize that before applying the physical brakes.

. Then there's the potential that your car is busted, and/or you're just going uphill everywhere.
You must be driving with the e-brake on or you got the special 33" wheels that kill the range like this dude below, I can't get my P85 to use 480w per mile unless I do triple digits...

Well I'm always flooring or braking. Nothing in between. There is no point, except at a light, when I am not experiencing either extreme positive or negative g-forces. So my point was, since I am killing my range in this way on 18" 235 tires, a 265 tire should not make it any worse, correct?You must be driving with the e-brake on or you got the special 33" wheels that kill the range like this dude below, I can't get my P85 to use 480w per mile unless I do triple digits...
