Model S Aftermarket Wheel Fitment/Offset Discussion

[tph4m]

does the height of the tire matter? I am thinking of running 285/30/21 (85.5mm) in the front and 305/30/21 (91.5mm) in the back. Rear tire will be a little taller---will that mess up anything?

U should be fine

Hey guys, new to the Tesla arena but I picked up a 2016.5 Model S P90DL.

It has factory 19" wheels but I'm looking to use my Rays 57FXX wheels I already own. Specs are
19x9.5 +25 / 10.5 +20.

Are these specs safe to run, I've read and did some searches and seem to be a mixed post from the oem crowd to the more stanced crowd.

Looking to use 245/45/19 front and 275/40/19 rear. Thoughts?

I do plan on installing the Unplugged Performance lowering brackets.

Would appreciate some feedback

Front is pushing it, but the rear will rub.

Rear will have around 10mm of poke.

Here is my car on Vossen HF4Ts front 21x9.5 ET +23 and rear 21x10.5 ET +28. I am lowered on links that are front +6mm and rear +7mm.

No rubbing at all and we recently took a 200 mile trip with 5 people in the car (mixed highway and backroads).

I included a top down front/rear to give everyone an idea of the amount of poke.

Hi wheel experts. I'm trying to figure out a wheel fitment to replace my 21 inch Turbine square fitment wheels.

I want to go with 20 inch but after going through all these threads I'm thoroughly confused with what to do. I want to be flush with a deep concave without rubbing at all.

2012 model S 85 with air ride

Car is lowered and is aligned at the lowered setting around -1.4 degrees in the rear and closer to -1.2 in the front. I have lowering links and in2uitive reat camber and toe arms installed. My tires barely rub on the fender linings on hard impact.

I'm looking at 20 inch Ferrada Fr3 or Fr1 in 9 inch front and 10.5 rear but seek advice on tire width and offset that will not rub or any other fitment solution. Thanks in advance!

Any advice folks?

Any advice folks?

What size tires are you hoping to run?

I have 8.5x20 et24 up front and they didn't rub with 245/40 but they did with 255/40 so now I'm on 245 again.
Rears I have 10x20 et26 and they didn't rub with 275/35. I didn't like how the rim edges were unprotected so I got 295/35. Those rubbed a lot and I was happy when it finally came time to buy new tires. I now have 285/35 and they only rub on big bumps at high speeds which has been very rare.

 

[VegarHenriksen]

Ideal tire width for 9 is 245 and for 10.5 it is 285. Ran this last year and was perfect.
ET 35 in front and ET36 in back, but not flush

Thanks for all the advice everyone.i ended up getting Ferrada Fr3 in size 20x9 245/40/20 up front and 20x10.5 275/35/20 in the rear. No rubbing and drives amazing.

Has anyone ever run a 20×10 +40? Will it work

Yes, it will work on the refresh S LR/Plaid. But you would need tp run spacer to make the wheel flush to the fender.

It's an evolving story, but I can confirm that a 19x9.5" ET35 front will have less than a millimeter of clearance or rub the inner barrel of the wheel against the vertical part of the knuckle.

With that said, I'm looking for spacer advice. I was thinking 10mm would be about right (and something to try on my summer setup), but in looking around the forum the consensus seems to be that I won't get enough thread engagement on stock studs. The smallest I am seeing the bolt on style is 15mm, which based on my measurements seems like probably too much.

I'm having trouble finding hubcentric options below 10mm. The often recommended Motorsport-Tech 'Design 2' stops at 8mm. 'Design 1' goes down to 3mm, but doesn't have the hubcentric raised portion I'm used to seeing. For context I have never used spacers...

Any suggestions/input would be appreciated

You can hammer out the stock studs and press in some longer ones - these are 5mm longer than stock (perfect for a 5mm spacer) and have the right thread pitch and spacing:

Amazon.com

If you're gunna do that, this tool will make it much easier to pull the new studs into place: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ETUD22/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

I’ve thought of doing this instead of getting spacers that bolts on to the existing studs. It’s probably safer to install longer studs with spacers that don’t need to be bolted on.

Yep. I’m installing 5mm longer studs this weekend along with spacers.
