Yes, Black Rhino Arches. I think with the ATs at 255/55 they filled the rear pretty nicely
Best looking stance to me. Putting in order for all black arches and toyo at III’s tomorrow.
Thank you!
For ref, that is the 1880ACH305114B76 / 1880ACH305114Z76 18x8 5x114.3 ET+30mm, bore 76.10, load rating 2000
I wish I could see the front of the front tire when its turned straight, looks to as if there's space for 265/55R18 if a 18x9.0 ET+30mm wheel was used, but not sure if it clears fender or upper knuckle
BRAID Winrace T (cast)
BRAID Forged UR4 (forge)
OZ Racing Rally gravel design (cast)
Can all be made in 18x9.0 5x114.3 ET+30mm, not sure about where to go to get the OZ one as most places carry some cookie cutter sizes.. still curious if 265/55R18 would fit or not

I looked more at the calculators online and the only gain from that 18x9 is +5.5mm ride height, hardly anything to write home about and drawbacks include even worse range ... yeah I think 18x8 is the sweet spot.
For Model Y Long Range though ... maybe Model 3 aero wheels rev 2 are a supprior option, sure its 8.5 instead of 8 and offset is 40mm instead of 30mm like the BR or 38mm like Method but the aero cover should help make up some of the lost range due to tires
Thoughts?

Sorry for the delay! This post shows the Methods without the lift. I looked at a lot of options, including the BR Arches, but after getting Analysis Paralysis, I decided to just go with the Methods, since they guaranteed fit on the MYP. Some pics below to sway you toward the Methods
When they go to balance the wheels, they add weights, and if those weights aren't added in the correct area (as far inboard as possible) they'll rub on the parking brake and make a fun 'tick tick tick' noise whenever you drive.
Can't wait to see what you go with!

If you can find them, the gen2 Aero wheels are a great option. The hard part is finding a set that is decently priced relative to new aftermarket wheels. Black Rhino Sandstorm (18x8) is another good option.

Beautiful. Well done. Love the rear spare tire setup as well. Very practical. What carrier is it?

Well I managed to score a set of gen2 Aero wheels with TPMS sensors and covers for $650 today. I have been looking on craigslist for over a year now. One of the wheels is badly curb rashed, but fixable.

Can't beat that price!
The carrier is my own build. I liked the RigD setup but couldn't stomach the price, so I made this thing, which allowed me to control the distance to the bumper and offset the tire so I still had a useable rear camera.

Just fyi we ended up replacing the UP setup with MPP coilovers and 2" lift. The UP never stopped squeaking unfortunately. Same wheels, and we're running 255/55R19 all around.
Do you have any good photos of your setup? I just ordered the MPP lift and am looking at which tires/wheels to get

255/55R19 is a 30 inch tire. Does that fit? I thought the max was 29.5 inches.

Whoa - I've just been running 41-42 PSI. I tried lower pressures once to see if it helped with ride quality. I didn't notice an improvement, so I went back up. I'm concerned going lower will ruin my already fuel economy. I love the fat tires with no hubcaps, but it kills your economy (along with my heavy foot).
