Hey Folks. I’m looking at getting a Model 3 Long Range, originally I was considering the Performance just for the 20” rims and the lower suspension. But now I’m rethinking that and considering the Long Range and dropping the TST Flow Forged 20” rims on it. I was wondering if anyone had pictures of a similar setup on the Long Range with stock suspension. I’m curious how bad the gap’s going to look.

Lowered on Eibachs but I think coilovers are in my near future

Anyone in SoCal who wants or needs Mobile Tire/Wheel Service I highly recommend Alberto at Djs Tire Service, Login • Instagram located in Moreno Valley. Great Service and took his time with everything!

what about when you need to rotate the square tires? dismount and remount the tires?

Correct. Need to be dismount and remount the tire. You can think of this as a $80-100 for tire rotation every 10k miles. AWD usually have less problem with uneven wear, you can simply swap them across if you have non-directional tire for maximum tire life.

You can use non directional tires to flip from wheels from left to right to wear evenly. If you’re AWD it’s not too much of a worry.

Yes you’ll need to dismount tires and remount but that’s a small price to pay for custom. Staggered wheels you even cannot rotate tires but staggered wheels gets you closer to flush offset.

Square wheels with staggered offsets:
Pros
1. Wheel Width you want
2. 4 equal tires that you can rotate
3. Stance equal to the body lines of the car
4. Larger Concavity based on wheel width
5. No spacers on regular prebuilt standard sizes.
6. Cost of tires stays low because of same size smaller tire and rotatable.

Cons
1. Dismount / Mount tires every 15k miles ONLY IF you have uneven wear

Just got my set couple weeks ago and they're going on tomorrow morning. Will post with pictures and let you know how it goes. Very excited to get one Model 3 with the MPP sport coilover system and another one with the MPP Comfort adjustable coilover system for direct comparison
Please make a new thread on both after the springs settle. Love to hear the comparison.
