Model 3 Aero with 235/45R18

[island3]

I know it’s possible to use the 18” aero wheels from a model 3 on a Y.

Does anyone know if I can use Vikingcontact 7 tires that are 235/45R18 on it as well?

Just picked up the Y and I have my winter tires left over from my Model 3.

I test fitted with 245/45/18 wheels/tires from my Model 3. Looks kind of silly. Otherwise it will work. Model 3 TPMS not compatible with Model Y TPMS.

I have Model Y TPMS on order from Tesla Service Center. I will use my existing wheels and get larger tires.

Assuming you are aware that the Model 3 tires are way smaller than the Model Y ones, and load rating is too low. So you definitely should not use the tires.

So I ended up putting them on for now, nobody here has winters for sale that will fit the 19” rims.

looks pretty funny, and I will have to be conscious of not loading the Y up with extra weight but it’s better than running the stock wheels in winter.

I would be very careful, and expect that this will very likely void any warranty claims related to e.g. suspension and drivetrain issues.

Here's a great previous thread about Aero load limits on the Model Y that should help ease your concerns!

You want 235/55r18. That is almost the exact same diameter and will fit the 18" Aero's.
