Model S - 21 inch wheel / tires - max size

[ZZ_KITT]

2017 Model S P100D, staggered. Currently working on project for a wide-body kit. Looking at 21 inch wheels with 9.5J ET13 (front offset) and 11J ET23 (rear offset).

Currently looking at following wide tire sizes:
Front: 255 or 265 / 35 / 21
Rear: 295 or 305 / 30 / 31

Would like to get input from forum who are running 21 inch - what is the widest tire size you are running with? And any issues you are seeing? any issues with dyno running wide?

Appreciate any inputs...

How much wider is the body kit? Are you going to cut the fenders and quarter panels?

DONT...

Front right tire rubbing through fender into wiring? PICS*

This is another issue sometimes with the air suspension acting up.
Ive even had my tires rub the fender for a bit until I resettled the air suspension by raising and lowering the car.

I would run tesla's specs, and stick to them like a glove. There are wires behind that fender you do not want to rub.

265 will likely rub in the front. I had slight rub so went back to 245. I have 20's and not sure of offset.

I’m running 21’ with 10 inch from rims and 11 inch rear rims no rubbing at all and fit perfectly flush. I have a 5mm spacer for the front rims. Tires are 255 30 21 fronts and 295 30 21 rears. I also am going to add a widebody kit but will add larger spacers on both front and rear to achieve close to a flush look with the fender flares

Cars looking good! What offset you have on your wheels? How are you liking a 30 profile? Enough to keep the wheel safe?
