M3P after market wheel fitment

[teagreen]

Hi, I have a M3P (Model 3 Performance Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive configured with the Performance Upgrade, 2018 model). I'm considering replacing the stock 20 inch wheels with 19 inch wheels. I read quite a few posts here but still not sure about the wheel fitment.

Model 3 Owner's Manual | Tesla

Understand the various wheel and tire specifications for your vehicle.

www.tesla.com

The factory wheel spec for 19 inch wheels: 8.5 inch width, offset 40mm

1) TSF 19" Tesla Model 3 Wheel (Set of 4)

• Size: 19x8.5", 19x9.5"
• Offset: +35

a) Would it fit?
b) Given the 'stepped' hub design for the M3P model, does anyone know if the TSF wheel is compatible? It has the correct center bore size (64.1mm), does the bore have a 'step' (70.10mm) at the end? Or a lip delete kit is needed (I'd rather not use it)?

2) https://shop.tesla.com/product/model-3-19_-sport-wheel-and-winter-tire-package

• 4x 19X8.5J Sport Wheels

"Note: This package is not compatible with Model 3 Performance Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive configured with the Performance Upgrade or vehicles configured with chrome door handles and window trim (see photos below for details)."

I'm curious why is this 19 inch wheel not compatible with M3P? If so, does it mean that the above T Sportline 19 inch wheel is not compatible with M3P either?

Newbie here, thank you for your input and patience! Recommendation appreciated!

Both those wheels will work with M3P. First link says they fit the performance.

Second link says they don't fit vehicles with chrome trim LMAO?

M3P fits all Tesla wheels except the 18s (Performance brakes are too big)

 

[MacO512]

There's many aftermarket wheels that fit, including many 18s. If the wheels don't have the steeped lip only on the performance you can buy a 3mm spacer to have them fit.

Chrome trimmed cars have pre-Bluetooth TPMS, making them not compatible with that package.

Hi, I have a M3P

What do you want from your new wheels/tires?
Tsportline is pretty overpriced for what they sell.
OEM wheels have they pluses, but why would you need winter tires of a sub-par variety?

I recently replaced my tires, America's Tire told me 3 of the 4 20 inch OEM wheels were bent. Trying to decide what to do.

My options are:
1) Repair the bent rims @$150 per rim. Bay area road condition sucks, so it may happen again.
2) Get after market wheels. Do people generally go down to 19 inch? I like the fitment of Tsportline (no spacer or hub ring needed) but do find them to be overpriced. Any good quality alternatives?

For tires, I went with Falken Azenis FK460 A/S. Great price. Quiet on local but loud on freeway so I might swap with something else.

I'm a pretty boring driver, prefer reliable wheels and quieter tire (FK460 price is great though!)

Recommendations? Thanks!

I went from the factory 20" to Tsportline (TSR) 18" recently to avoid these issues, my wife drives ours mainly and having to worry about the poor road conditions/curb rash constantly was a big factor in choosing 18".

Recommendations? Thanks!

For regular driving I have a couple of sets of 18" FastEV EV01s. They look okay, are pretty cheap, and fit M3P w/o spacers.
I think consumer reports has tire noise ratings.

Obviously not the OP here but you state that Tsportline is overpriced. I'm actually looking to replace the oems to 18" on a m3p once I take delivery and haven't found any other mention of aftermarkets that would fit a M3P except tsportline.

If you or anyone else happened to know of better please let us know.

I have a set of 18" Titan7's on my 2018 M3P. They are only 18 lb each. I also have a set of new Titan7's and tires for sale here:

I literally had an example of what fits in the post right above yours.
In general, there are plenty of 18" wheels that fit to choose from.

Very helpful list - thanks!

 

[BlkDragon]

Thank you for linking the list.

Unfortunately all the prices are much higher in my area (+$100 per tire) than what's listed. Making a copy and looking up the amounts.

*per wheel not tire.
Also some of them do not fit the 2023 Performance according to tire rack.

Will keep looking. Good starting point regardless.

2023 has exactly the same brake caliper clearances as 2018-2022. It's just that the Tirerack hasn't bothered updating their system. My 3 sets of 18" wheels fit my 2023 M3P the same as they did on my 2019.
