Model 3 Performance Spacers
- Thread starter Cyclone1
- Start date
I hereby confirm that the Bonoss 20mm spacers fit well on the 2021 TM3P and 20" OEM Überturbine wheels.
The front is fitted with no-name universal 5mm spacers from Amazon.
The car is lowered with springs from T-Sportline. 1" front and 1.2" rear.

Looks pretty decent. Does the rear poke out a little bit from the fender or it fits perfectly? The front is good?
I am ordering 5mm same for the front and 18mm for the rear. Just wondering if I should change to 20mm.

I have some winter KMC KM694 wheel/tires off my 2016 Camaro 2SS, but they were 5x120.65 ... doesn't look like salvaging them on a Model Y is possible with the wheels having a 74.1mm hub vs 64.1mm and 5x114.3.
Has anyone used these 15mm/20mm spacers with the UP adjustable coilovers? i'm wondering if the lowered ride height will cause rubbing due to the increased poke. i don't plan on slamming the car, just a bit lower.
also, someone on Amazon said the 15mm front spacers fit the 2021 m3p front 20" ubers perfectly, can anyone confirm this? i can't imagine the 2020 and 2021 are any different.
I just got my 2021 M3P at the end of June and am looking into mods. it has the 20" uber wheels

Just to update. My RHD M3P is on Uberturbine with H&R 1.2" drop. I have put 5mm front and 18mm rear from Bloxsport. They look just great although it would be more perfect with 10mm front and 15-16mm rear.
Now 5mm front looks a bit too thin from the fender, and 18mm rear pokes out 1-2mm from the fender. No rubbing issue until now.

I just ordered 15mm front and 20mm rear bloxsport now bonoss for my 21 model3 performance with Martian wheels. My plan is if the Martian wheels don’t have a large enough cavity I will trim the factory front studs. They sent me this response.
No rubbing problem at all. Just poke out 1-2mm from the fender only in the rear. But that's fine for me

Just FYI. I have a 2021 Model 3 Performance and the 15mm BLOXSPORT's fit. I tossed their 15mm on the front and 20mm on the rear.
That being said, 15mm on the front was too much. I need to get some hubcentric 5mm spacers for the front. I think 8mm would be perfect, but that's not going to work without pressing in some custom length studs and I don't feel like messing with ti that much.

Two questions:
1) Do you have a link to your amazon spacers? I don't like my 15mm BLOXSPORT's on the front. It's too much. And if you're happy with your spacers, I'll just order the same.
2) Do you T-Sportline springs make any clunky noises? I've heard people complain about some spring binding noises. Are you happy with them?
Thanks.
I think I’m going to go 5mm front and 14mm rear.
seen some pics and that seems perfect to me.

I have Martian wheels that sit in a little further than the uberturbines because they are 8.5” wide and uberturbines are 9”, so from my measurements 15 should be good.
when will you have the black 14mm spacers in stock again?Either will work for the rear. Some people like to stay consistent with brands, color, etc.
That's why we have options

i really like the 5/14 look i seen on here and just need your 14mm to complete the look.

OCD alert. I assume you guys periodically retorque the spacer lug nuts? I would think that’s a pain since you have to remove the wheel to do so, so I was thinking to get longer lugs and use slip ons. Thoughts?

If it's a proper bolted joint, you should never need to retorque. You'd only lose torque if you have embedment or a joint slip. Neither should ever happen if installed correctly.

Not being argumentative, but I’ve always retorqued my wheels every couple of months or so, and also we would retorque the wheels on my racecar after every session, as well as “nut and bolt” the entire car after every race weekend. Agreed that not every nut or bolt would end up requiring retorqueing but at least some would. How do we install nuts and bolts correctly so as not to require retorqueing ever (serious question)?
