Is the handling affected when using ET35 wheels instead of ET40?

[sven-labil]

I plan to buy a set of aftermarket wheels (to replace the old kerb damaged wheels with half worn tyres that Tesla thought belonged to my 2018 75D with 59 miles on the odometer at delivery) and I’ve noticed that there are a lot more interesting designs to choose from with ET35 instead of ET40.

Would the handling be noticeable affected by lowering the offset by 5 mm? (I plan to use 245/45 tyres on 8.5x19 wheels, didn’t find any I liked in 8X19.) It wouldn’t suit this kind of car to get nervous and sensitive to ruts…

You won't notice any difference; other than the improvement in looks.

This website will show you the exact difference. It's helpful when the wheel width is also different than the original wheels.
