I have already mentioned those two aggressive staggered fitment options in a lengthy email to Evasive with supporting details including all clearance measurements I made on my M3 and existing wheel sizes available back on the 14th of September. Tony stated that the current options were made based on feedback/polls from this forum and he would "mention it to the team". I'd like something similar to the Tsportline 20" forged wheels. I'm sure there are other M3 owners wanting a more aggressive setup. I'll keep my fingers crossed and credit card ready.

Group Buy Poll for Mono-Block Forged Alloy Wheels by Titan 7

BTW, to follow up - Evasive confirmed that the stock Tesla TPMS valves will fit both wheels. If you are swapping your OEM TPMS to the Titans you'll either want to swap the valves as well, or ask Evasive to include a set. Most aftermarket TPMS include valves which are a standard industry size, so if that's you're route you shouldn't need extra TPMS specific valves.
@outdoors, which model 3 do you have?
I'm looking for light wheels that allow for tires with more sidewall. The fact that 18" tires are cheaper is a bonus. I figure that black wheels with the minimal spokes will look sweet over the red calipers.
I'm certainly not worried about things breaking if we push the wheels all the way back out to the factory setting (aka +35) on my P3+.
If we can't swap to the +35, I'll probably cancel and order the 18" TST +35 wheels. While they are 2.8 lbs heavier than these, I assume they are more aerodynamic as they are a copy of the old Model S wheel spoke styling. In a street wheel perhaps the assumed better aero would be more useful than the lightness. (Sure would be nice to have data to inform our decision.)
I am absolutely interested in square 19 x 9.5 +35 or 19 x 10 +35 but am waiting to make sure 265/35R19 and 275/35R19 fit well without rubbing.
I think the 19x10 +40 with a 275/35 would have no rubbing issues in the rear. The +35 pushes it beyond the inner fender lip in the rear based on this calculator

RWD. For me if I can't get the close to stock, I will just order the winter tire combo from Tesla. Willing to give it time.
Very nice calculator. Where did the specs for the clearances come from? (I'm also curious if this was for a Perf or non-Perf model.)

That's because Evasive told us that size doesn't fit from their tests and they don't take deposits on 19" 9.5"

I did and they said that size from their tests show it won't fit in the front.

I measured my M3 using a straight edge from the bottom and top edge of the stock 18" aero without the covers and have about 12mm to the inner edge up front and 22mm rear. I also have UP moderate springs and have about 26mm wheel well clearance up front and 20mm rear.
That sucks. any pics of the front? are they concave? I don't have the performance + package.
That offset is most likely hitting the spokes. There is 2mm of caliper clearance on the 18 X 8.5 +35 and no issues with the 19 X 9. What was the issue?
Even the TST 18 X 8.5 “flow forged” fit over the P3D+ calipers. Do you have pictures showing what the challenges were with that aggressive offset? BTW those are the figment for a Mitsubishi EVO Lancer and not designed for the Tesla Model 3. That fitment (+28) moves the wheel 18 mm outboard beyond the stock figment (+40). If you had added a 5-10mm spacer making it a +33 to +38 and a hub centric ring taking it from 73mm center bore to 64.1mm center bore you should be OK. Or avoid that mess and get these Titan 7 T-S5 (Set of Four Wheels) - 18x8.5 / +39 / 5x114 for Tesla Model 3 (Deposit) | Evasive Motorsports The idea is to reduce weight and not add it with spacers and rings. True?

The barrel where it steps down to a smaller diameter. I have a track day monday and 18" yoko A052 that I dont know what to do with....anyone have some TST 18" I can buy or borrow for the next month to shred these tires up?
That makes more sense. Sorry to hear about that. If you can please post pictures of the front wheels .
2mm may not be enough clearance for track use. At maximum lateral load the wheel will deflect - question is how much. All metal under load will deflect - depending on the distance from hub and amount of material it'll vary.
I setup and turn track cars and have some first hand experience with this. A couple years ago I had a set of forged wheels on a e90 m3 which had about 2mm clearance from the big brakes. There was some rubbing after track use. It's probably ok for street but for those who are tracking their cars should take note and periodically check. It would be nice for them to also report back here should there be any issues.

The "Mad Hungarian" put some 18x9 +30 wheels on his P3D+. See:
The +30 looks good on the car. Wonder if we can get that offset in Titan 7 for a bit more inner clearance in the front.
Other interesting thing is, this video proves that wheel weight doesn't really matter or at least the difference is so small that it's insignificant (5/100 of a sec difference). And he shrank the wheel diameter too which should have given him even more torque.
