Model Y Performance : All Terrain Tires and Wheels with no Lift Kit?

[jpy1980]

I've probably read and responded to all the threads about lift kits for the Model Y, but thought I'd make one for the Model Y performance. I don't actually want to lift my MYP, but still want all terrain tires. Kind of like this guy for his Long Range:

Has anyone seen any bolt on options for the performance?

I've seen a "lifted" Model Y with the MPP kit, and that Model Y pictured looks like it's still on stock suspension, at least in that picture and at that angle.

If you look at the black trim on the bumper and run a line from the side skirt to the bumper trim, the hub is higher than the line. In the picture below, the hub is lined up with the bumper-to-side skirt line which shows the body has been lifted. Plus, there's visually a much bigger fender gap with the lift kit.

I swapped my wheels for 18" aeros and some 29" diameter AT tires. the extra diameter gives it a .5" lift but I'm still planning on getting the UPP Dirt and Snow coiler setup once they're in stock.

Looks amazing! Do you know if the aero wheels will clear the MYP brakes? Also I thought the loss rating was the issue with the aero wheels?

Can you let us know what size tires you used?

255/55R18 with no rubbing, though it gets pretty close with the front tires where the outside edge of the tire nears the back of the wheel well. Others on the forums apparently have been able to go narrower and do 245/60R18.

Aero wheels will not clear the Performance brake caliper without grinding the caliper. The rear caliper is the main problem.

In case you guys are still looking for some pics of a Model Y Performance with All Terrains, I just installed mine today:

I just got my MPP lift kit in, so will hopefully be installing those in the next couple weeks, but not before trying to take this on some mild off road/snow roads.

I'm personally having a ton of issues with my UPP dirt and snow. Just a friendly fyi. DM me for details if you'd like. Moving to MPP coilover + lift kit.

Many thanks for the photo's, a year is coming up, how has the long term been with this setup? I'm hoping you'll say great as I've just ordered the same rims

It's been a blast! I have zero desire to return to the original setup. Definitely gets some interesting looks at superchargers!

How long did you drive without the lift kit and just on the 18" rim setup? Did you end up getting coil overs too after the lift kit?

Drove it for about 2 months before installing the new wheels and tires then another 2 weeks before I got the lift. Ended up with MPP comfort coils and their lift kit.

Has anyone put the Falken Wildpeak A/T 255/45R20 on the Induction wheels?

Same here, a year into our mpp/toyo setup and no regrets. We travel long distance (about 600 miles) to our place in NC from Central FL. No noticeable range issues.

Should be sweet! That’s a new size they came out with and perfect diameter.

in few months
will mount 255/45/20 wild peak a/t

For anyone running the Method 502 rims, did you use the Tesla TPMS? My tire shop is having difficulty fitting it to the rims...

Y - they had to use a different thickness washer or something for mine to work.
