5mm spacers arrived today. Tossed them on and I think it looks pretty damn good. Obviously not completely flush, but it doesn’t look tucked at all.
I would highly recommend 20mm rear and 5mm front for P3D+ owners who don’t want to cut front lug studs or run a super aggressive 20mm front setup.

Looks like they are currently unavailable though. I'm sure they will be available again or there are others available on eBay.
Here you go! Front looks higher than rear because of uneven driveway, but you can see how much they poke.

Awesome, thanks for posting these pics! I have new front rotors on my wish list, and those would push the wheels out 4mm from stock, so your 5mm front spacer gives a great approximation of the look. 20mm in the back looks damn near perfect.
Has anyone had any experience with H&R Spacers? Looking into getting 5mm and 20mm for my 2019 P3D+. Hoping to install these with my TSportline lowering springs.
H&R DRS Wheel Spacers - 5mm / 5x114.3 / 12x1.5 / Bore: 64.1
H&R DRM Wheel Spacers - 20mm / 5x114.3 / 12x1.5 / Bore: 64.1
Thanks!

Anyone buying these, inspect those spacers CLOSELY, they sent me multiple pairs that were milled so badly the unevenness caused the aluminum to crack when torqued down.
They appear to have been thicker hub centric spacers that have had the center hub section / thickness milled down and not very precisely.
Thanks for the link! Glad I wasn't the only one who experienced this!
I've been talking to BloxSports for over a week now. At first they claimed it was my fault and I didn't know what I was doing.
Now they agreed that if I sent in the 15mm spacers, plus an addition $59, they send me a set of 20mm.

Good info. Mine were perfectly even. No problems torquing them down and no vibration at highway speeds.
That seems like a crap deal, lol. I would just sell the 15s and buy 20s.
I just got a 2019 demo and have BLOX 15/20mm sitting in the garage waiting to be installed. I am swapping my wheels today to a set of powdercoated 20" ones and will put the spacers on after the "new" wheels are on board. I assume I won't end up with refinished 2020 wheels but I guess I won't know for sure until I try and bolt everything up
Put the spacers on earlier today and...of course...the fronts don't fully clear with 15 mm BLOX spacers. Like mentioned by others, the issue it that the OEM lugs hit against the inside of the 20" performance wheels. I actually fully installed everything and then went for a drive up my street...immediately stopped and turned around when I heard light clanking!
Anyways, the 15mm spacer on the fronts was a bit too much anyways. 20mm on the rear is perfect...my guess is 5-10mm on the front is all you want. 15mm definitely poked! I am currently running no spacers on the front and it actually still looks good with just the 20mm on the rear. I might just leave things as is.....
Anyone want to buy a set of 15mm used BLOX spacers? They have probably 800ft of use on them
That's lame but since they are far across the pond I can understand it being very costly to process returns. I just hope they now know that their 15mm spacers will not work with the 2020 Performance wheels. I wonder why they work fine for the silver 20" wheels (arent both 20x8.5 +35mm)? I have a 2019 so we know it isn't that Tesla increased the stud length on the 2020s. There must be a difference in the wheel casting or something.
I bought a set of these just now but am wondering because I think the center bore on these spacers are 70.5mm but stock is 70.1mm, right? Did your's fit nice and snug on the hub?
Oh well, free returns if not and even if I keep them they were only $10 LOL.

They fit nice and snug on the slight larger diameter inner stepped portion of the hub on the P3D+. 10mm would probably be absolutely perfect for the front, but I still think 5mm looks great even with 20mm in the rear.
is anyone running spacers on their Performance that aren't running the stock 20s?
I have a set of tsportline 18'' on my P, but was told by them that you cannot run spacers on their wheels (not sure if it's for fit or for durability/reliability). The offset on the wheels is exactly like the Performance 20'' (+35et).
Also, the magic number on here seems to be 5mm and 20mm for front/backs?
thanks in advance

20mm don’t poke on the rear with the stock 20” wheels/tires but not 100% sure how close a fit it will be with your rear setup. I don’t think 15mm is viable though because of the issue the performance wheels have with <20mm spacers that have integrated lugs. For the front 5mm should be good...

Great to hear there has been progress on this and really appreciate the detail. I think I will just grind the original lugs if it’s only 0.5mm too long. But must admit that the 5mm spacer looks fine. My only concern with fitting the 5mm spacer is whether there is enough lug for the nut to completely attach to securely? Sounds like this is ok @vogz ?
