Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

[MODEL+]

Hoping someone can help me with a few questions if I decide to pull the trigger on these 19x8.5 wheels with a +35 offset if my goal is to get a more flush look on my 2021 M3 LR.

• What size spacers do I need to get? Would it fall under the 15mm fronts and 20mm rears that I seem to see most people ordering?
• Does anyone have any recommended spacers/vendors to look at?

Thank you!

Yeap, I would do 15/20mm with those specs for a flush look. Assuming you're reusing stock tire size of 235/40/19.

These spacers are direct pop in and play:

Aspira Auto Design Wheel Spacers

Has anyone done Tsportline TSV wheels in 19 or 20?

Yeah. 265/35/19 RE71R. Def have room for 275 and maybe more with a spacer

I have a set of FF11's in IPA that I'll be putting on in about 2 weeks. What tire sizes did you go with?

As promised.... @MODEL+ Hooke me up with some incredible satin black CF5V Forgestar 19x9s. Running Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 245/40/19s. Loving it. The tires are fantastic, almost as food as the stock Ubers with PZEROs (turn in isn’t quite as sharp, but tbh the lateral grip is darn near the same. Likely due to having the contact patch increased).

So far range is the same as I was getting, but as the car is still in its youth I’m admittedly on the gas a lot! First 800 miles with the stocks I got 297whr/mi (mixed city and highyway); now I’m getting 305whr/mi, but that has been 225mi at 75-85mph on the highway. I think in the long run it will be a push or better range.

Looks amazing. Danny @MODEL+ was AMAZING! Took so much time answering my many questions and helping make sure I had everything I needed. Not to mention a great price and fast shipping. 100% recommend talking to Danny @MODEL+ if you are in the market!

Didn;t even realize that the a/s4 was out already in that size, got the a/s3+ in that size just a few months ago and I wonder how big the difference is

What fitment are you running on your forgestars? I also am running 19x9 forgestar cf10s put i feel like I have more poke

35 ET with 245/40/19s.
They sit dead flush to me. Maybe a bit more out than the stock Ubers, but I would refer to it as flush.

FYI, the AS4 is night and day better than the AS3+ in my opinion. I had AS3+ on the CTSV I traded in (has same skidpad per testing if that makes a good comparison, I felt so). AS4 feels more responsive (quicker) and more grip than my prior two sets of AS3+

My track setup. Volk TE37RT in 18x10.5 +22. Tires are 255 35 18 Falken RT660. Definitely could use some taller tires to fill out the gap more, but I do like the look. I think some 19's with 275's would look great.

Do you think it could fit 255/40/19? From your pic, it looks like there's room for it. I'd prefer taller to help fill up the fender gap. Thanks!

Thanks for the pics and info. Do you have a spacer?

 

[Mahamilto]

Thanks for the pics and info. Do you have a spacer?

Just the 3mm ring to make it fit the model 3 performance flush to the hub. From transverse ridge racing. High quality part. So no spacer as far as it bumping the wheels out, but yes to spacer for fitting

Another bump for the traverse racing spacer. If you have M3P you want these. They also make a 5mm version.

That’s a 27” tall tire, not sure as the tallest factory tire is the 235/35/20 which is 26.5”. Lower the car over running something that tall imo

Did the same thing but my usage is much higher with almost the same specs as you, which is interesting

 

[Mahamilto]

As far as wh/mi?

what tires? Summers would make it much less efficient

So who's ready to step up to the big boys league with a set of classics?



We have a few Model 3 spec BBS LMs that are ready to ship with no build out wait times. More info here.


Please message if you're interested!

Yeah, I have the the same fitment, similar wheels (cr10), and similar tires (a/s3+)
