40PSI since its cold then will lower to 38 in the summer time.
21". Someone here told me it was the closest overall diameter. Plus, it looks cool on the screen.
I'd like to get the OZ one in white... 18x8 +38mm like methods. How do I go on about custom ordering it? I see that tire rack carries +45mm. Would that fit?
I like the methods but I want it in bronze. Unfortunately only black ones are available in 18s.

Ah if that's the case then I guess methods it is.... hoping they would come out with a bronze version.

Black Rhino Sandstorm is a good 18” option too. I think they look better than the Methods.
Thoughts on 18x8 +40mm Sparco Rally Gravel? Got a 1900lbs load rating as well.
I wonder how this compares to the MPP lift kit, I can only assume that the ride quality is better?
But, this isn't compatible with coilovers.... however, it is compatible with the MPP lift kit, right?
Where are we at at total lift for the two setups?
lift spring(1.7") + MPP lift kit(+1.75") = 3.45"
VS
MPP lift kit(+1.75") + MPP Comfort Adjustable Coilovers (+1") = 2.75"
Is that accurate? (assuming long range Model Y)
That seems like quite an aggressive lift with just springs, though Eibach has been doing these for decades in the opposite direction (lowering springs).
The nice thing about lifting with the springs is that you retain all your original bump travel, though if you are fitting bigger tires, that could lead to rubbing.
The bad thing is that you lose a lot of droop travel - hitting certain bumps / dips will result in unwanted body motion if the wheels hit the limits of the suspension.
Would need to run the measurements just to see just how much droop there is in the suspension, but I suspect it might all work out OK since there tends to be a decent amount of droop in OEM suspension setups and you very rarely get to full droop in normal driving conditions unless hitting some serious humps in the road.
Perfect setup would be coilovers where you can set the bump/droop/spring/damping rates to fit the profile you want, but so far I think only UP has a set of coilovers designed for this.
At the end of the day you can only get so much travel out of the suspension without putting the CV joints into bad positions, so compromises need to be made...

Took the car out to King of the Hammers in Johnson Valley, CA. I was the only Tesla that attended in a sea of Rivians
