Model 3 Performance Spacers

[Svkool]

i'll double check, changing a tyre this aftenoon due to a 6mm spike in it, they did not need to be changed.

i've got them, installed yesterday and 20 mm at the rear

@Svkool,

Can you post some Photos (front and quarter shots) to show the amount of poke? Greatly appreciated!

The nuts are replaced

@Svkool,

So the only difference with the ‘SW’ part number version is the spacers are Black? Are your spacers Silver? Why did you decide on your version vs. the SW part number version? Looks great by the way...thanks for all the info!

@Svkool, great pictures. I just want to confirm what I’m seeing in the pics. Sorry if this is buried somewhere I didnt see:
- you are the white car with the grey stock wheels in the pics above?
- And you have the 28659-1 H&R 1.2” lowering springs (which are actually like 7/8” on the PUP models
- 20mm on back and 14mm in front H&R spacers?
I think it looks great.

I’ve got eibach springs, and the spacers in black 14 and 20 mm

To get the alloys to mount to the front 14mm spacer then you must have deep recesses in the alloy itself. It appears that these recesses vary in depth meaning that most owners who’ve tried 15mm spacers cannot get the alloy to mount flush. It’s the original lugs that poke through the spacer and hit the back of the alloy.

I have a model 3 performance, recently got new zero g wheels with +40 offset, trying to find 5mm spacers to install the wheels,

I found Bloxsport and Traverse ridge racing 5mm spacers, can I get guidance, if I can use them.

No need to spend that much on 5mm spacers. I have these and they fit perfectly on the performance model stepped hub.

Thank you so much,
what’s the torque I need to apply, is it still the same or does it change with adding spacers

Do they make those in 5 mm?

Do they make those in 5 mm?

They do but perhaps out of stock right now. Here is the description "2pcs 5mm (3/16 inch) Hubcentric 5x4.5 and 5x4.75 Wheel Spacers (70.5mm bore) for many Ford Cadillac Lincoln Mazda Chevy GMC Pontiac (5x114.3 and 5x120"

These are not "custom designed" for the P3D like the other set brought up. These have a bore that is slightly oversized that allows them to avoid the whole stepped lip on the P3D issue. I am using them (after vogz' recommendation) and they work just fine. Great value for $10. I torque them to the factory specs (forget now...it is close to 130 ft-lbs).

You can also contact Stance Magic directly (they are located in Orange County, CA) and perhaps order direct rather than through Amazon. Or at least figure out when they will be stocked on Amazon again. https://www.stancemagic.com/

Would these fit? https://www.amazon.com/5x114-3-Hubc...rer-Mountaineer/dp/B01M7NPKT2?ref_=ast_sto_dp
I have AWD with 18" Aero wheels.

Specs appear identical to the ones I am using but the price is double of what I paid.

But...if you dont have a P3D+, you don't have to worry about the stepped lip issue and likely want more than 5 mm of spacer width anyways. A lot of guys without P3D+ seem to like the 15mm bloxsport spacers.

Whoops. I just followed the link from my original order of the 5mm ones. Stupid Amazon. If you search 5mm Model 3 Performance spacer on Amazon you should be able to find it.

Make sure to order the 5mm ones. I just realized from the previous reply that the link in shared was for 3mm spacers. Same torque as factory. It's 129 ft/lbs IIRC.

sure thank you, 129 it is then

@vogz - since your link to 5mm spacers is only linking to the 3mm ones, can you confirm that these will work with P3D:
