Induction or Uberturbine Wheels on Model X

[m5james]

I'm still waiting for the damn dealership to ship the truck, so hopefully in a week or two.

Sounds good I could pick up a set of the model y 21” wheels, tires and TPMS for $1200. Not as good of deal as yours but cheaper than any of the 22” model x wheels in my area. Plus I like the look of the uberturbines.

I know I stumbled across a stupid deal but I really like their look as well so I'm excited to make them work contrary to opinions.

Did you ever figure out anything on the weight rating for the tires vs stock model x tires. Looks like the size of tires overall circumference is about 1” smaller. X Front vs Y Front, X Rear vs Y Rear

Yes, if you search my username for my post I created my own thread showing rolling diameter dimensions, offsets w/ the adapters, etc as well as wheel and tire specs. I've found zero reason why these won't be completely fine for use on a Model X with the proper installed adapters.

One post from my thread...fitment is perfect!

Model Y Uberturbine wheels on a Model X

So I created a post on the FB pages and it's gotten rave reviews...from armchair mechanics and those who take the dealership as gospel. My X is currently running 20" Sonic Carbon Slipstreams that are in dire need of tires. I stumbled upon a set of 21" Uberturbines w/ 1K on them for only $500...

Do you have an eta on when you'd try this set up out? I am also interested in doing it as I have no problems running spacers.

I've updated this post with a pic and linked to my thread. Note that you'll need to shave the round part of the nipple off the stud to make clearance for the wheels to bolt to the spacers but it was a simple fix that only took about 5 extra min per axle. The wheels themselves have a small relief on the backside but wasn't quite enough even with a 1" adapter. The fitment is nice and flush though so I wouldn't go much wider than 1".

Are there any markings on the back of the wheel?

Sorry, I had this drafted weeks ago and never hit Post Reply.

I'm not seeing anything that may relate to a weight capacity. Here's what's written on random spokes:

236R 1
Sensor may be inside
DOT-T
M
21x10.5J +48MM
AISI7Mg
20 with a 12 box rectangle
C,F 250
HT 25G
PWK CHINA

Front tires are 98W/1653lbs and the rears are 103W/1929lbs, both @ 50PSI vs I think X's average around 45PSI. 4 front tires combined makes for 6600lbs of handling capacity, so tires are good to go and I still have ZERO reason to think these wheels can't handle the weight either.View attachment 824861
