MASTER THREAD: Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

[ChargedSociety]

There are a couple ppl in this thread that are running et25 with 9.5; I even recall one with 10.5.

Since I posted, I've seen a couple of people running 10.5 +25s or lower but they always seem to be cars with heavy suspension mods. One I talked to is running a 275 rear on a 10.5+25 and says it cleared fine. I believe them but looking at pictures, I just don't see how it's possible. I'd only be running a 265.

Option 1 is a 9.5 +35
Option 2 is a 9.5+25
Option 3 is a 10 +25.

I'm now pretty confident that option 2 shouldn't be an issue but option 3 has a different much more concave face that I'm really tempted by. Debating now if I should push my luck or not.

Just got my P3D and have been reading the numerous wheel threads all over the place. I know what look I am going for, just not width and offset. I have the stock performance 20 inch rims, of which I just replaced the right rear due to a taco crack, and the left rear is very slightly out of round. With that said, I am moving to more rubber, so 19 inch diameter is what I will buy.
But, and this is a big but, stick with 8.5 inch rims, or go wider?
My ultimate goal is better handling, less chance of pot hole damage, and not much reduction in range.
Offset of 30, 35, 40, or some other offset?
I hit the twisties often, but rarely the track, so should I go 235s or 245s in the Michelin PS4 tires?
I look forward to your suggestions as I am ready to buy soon.

Oh, no adapters or hub rings wanted, and must have performance hub chamfer.

Congrats on your P3D. 19x9+35mm would be the best choice. The weight difference between 8.5 and 9 will be minimal at best.

I got sick of the 20” wheels eating through tires with real light impact (small potholes and bumps). Just added the T Sportline 19” TSS Flow wheels and am very happy!

So 245 tires vs 235?19 by 9 seems tough to find, only 8.5 or 9.5?

Finally got round to fitting my KW V3 (I'll start a new thread on the full install soon) and afterwards test fitted my winter set-up, TSW Bathurst 19x9 et30 with 235/40/19 Michelin Alpin PA4.

Which front lip is this?

@Clivew Looks great, nice drop! Looking forward to your experiences with it concerning ride comfort. My KW v3 is waiting to be installed.

Need more red Model 3s in this thread.

Not great pictures, but had to take a couple before I even picked the car up from the tire shop. More, better pictures to come later!

- Performance 3 with upgrade package, stock suspension.
- Nikola Pro chrome delete in satin black.
- Wheels are Vossen HF-5, 20" staggered, matte gunmetal. I can post the exact specs of the wheel and tire sizes if people care.

19s. Got the rings from evasive.

Do you mind sharing the offsets and tire size you are running ?

 

[tripleJs15]

Team - need some help determining if the below wheels/specs would work on my SR+, if so what’s tire size should I run to avoid rubbing etc:


Rotiform ind-t Bronze:
20x9 +35
20x10.5 +35

 

[GlassJAw88]

Anyone with the stock 18” aero rims painted black? I am looking for pictures of pearl white with those aero rims painted black

These are matte gunmetal. Sizes are the recommended fitment from EVS, they had stock of this fitment in both matte gunmetal and satin black.

20X9- 5X114.3-+32-FLAT-73.1-MG-MATTE GUNMETAL
20X10.5 - 5X114.3 - ET45 - DEEP - 73.1 -MG - MATTE GUNMETAL

My daily setup is Signature SV103 in 19x9.5 +34 with 265/35 tires (Firestone Indy500 in those pics).
My track setup is Speedwell RS-1 in 19x9.5+35 with 265/35 RE71R

Here are a pair of more recent shot with Michelin PS4S:

Anyone know if the Costco Velox 18" will fit a 3P?

According to that site it does. Just have to make sure it comes with the hub rings.

 

[JBailey895]

I spoke w/ an engineer at Velox, he said, "uh, maybe". I was specifically concerned about caliper clearance, and he didn't ha clear answer, stating that Tesla changed the "barrel shape" of their hubs on the performance model (?). Since I'd be ordering through Costco, guess I could buy just one and see if it fits, before buying a set with tires. I'm not sure I'm willing to reduce my performance to increase my range, but since I'm not tracking the car, I notice how inefficient the stock 20's are (I still prefer the look of the 20's).

oh my bad. I forgot to account for P3D cars
