Looking at some rims - don't know if they will work on the 90D

[kgroschi]

Hi guys,

sorry for asking maybe a noob question but I just got my car and I definitely want to change my rims. I have the base 19 in and want to upgrade to 20 inch rims.

I've been looking around and try to decide between a couple. I still don't 100% get my head around rim sizes, width and choosing the right tires. I definitely want something with a thicker sidewall for several reasons. So if you can help me out, I'd really appreciate it. I don't trust relying on the guys at Americas Tire etc.

I don't want to spend more than $1200 for rims because several reasons as well

Rim 1: Verde Axis Black (20x9)
Rim 2: Niche Misano M177 20x9 as well

- Will these fit front and rear?
- Would I need a different size for the front/rear (called staggered I believe)?
- What tires do you suggest? 245 front and 265 rear? I definitely want the car to look a bit bulkier than the stock 90D width

THANK YOU!

Don't forget to ensure the tire pressure system on the new wheel is compatible. I too want to replace my stock 19" set. I want to stay with the size but want a chrome wheel that highlights the red calipers. Still investigating.

Speaking of which, should the tire pressure be the same factory 45psi for 20" wheels? I guess I should go out there and try a chalk test...

Tire Rack - www.tirerack.com is a great source for this process.

Even if you don't want any of their rims, they have the exact sizes that are compatible with our cars for each rim / tire size combination.

Just remember, the service center will not do anything for your tires and wheels if you do not have actual Tesla wheels.
